Jonas Mekas and 365 Films

Film maker Jonas Mekas (84) has a project called 365 Films, where he publishes one film on his web site on every day of one year. Downloading of each film is free on the day of its release.

In an interview in Helsingin Sanomat on March 7th he is telling about how his film making technique has changed during the decades from film to video and then to digital techniques.

He says that in the sixties film makers thougt that 8 mm film would be the inexpensive way to reach large audiences, but in fact it hasn´t happened until now that people can watch films on the internet whenever and where ever they want to.
