April 22 & 24 / Film Screening: As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty by Jonas Mekas

$0.00

⟣ A two-part screening across two evenings — a space to watch and reflect together ⟢

Join us for a rare viewing of this 4 hour 48 minute experimental film composed of home-movie fragments, passing moments, and seasons of life assembled over 30 years by Lithuanian filmmaker and poet Jonas Mekas, a central figure in diaristic filmmaking.

Without a single narrative to follow, the film moves like memory itself: intimate, drifting, attentive to the beauty of ordinary life.

Part I Screening: Wednesday, April 22 | 6:30 - 9:30 PM

Part II Screening: Friday, April 24 | 6:30 - 9:30 PM

Registration required. Limited seating available.

Guests are welcome to attend one or both screenings.

Light concessions will be available for purchase at the event.

After the film, we’ll have a casual, open discussion facilitated by Spring 2026 Artist-in-Residence Alyson Wong. Feel free to join or head out whenever!
