Book Presentation:
By following each cut in the film, this book is a systematic exploration of the shots, sequences, situations and characters included in the film Walden (1969) by Jonas Mekas. Includes a preface with two texts, one from David E. James and and a second by Jean-Jacques Lebel, as well as a bibliography and index. This book accompanied the first European release of Walden on VHS published by Video, now available apart from the original boxset, which is now out of print. In collaboration with Paris Expérimental published, in 1997, The Walden Book to accompany the release of a boxset of the homonymous film by Jonas Mekas. It is an annotation of each cut in the film, interspersed with a selection of the best texts by theorists, filmmakers and poets, mostly American or French, devoted to one of the most beautiful films in the world. A literally infinite to pick up at the point where the beginning reaches its end ... Guillaume BASQUIN, "Eloge de Paris Experimental", Traffic 95, Fall 2015.
