Jonas in the Jungle
Jonas in the Jungle is a 2013 documentary film by Peter Sempel about the filmmaker Jonas Mekas.[1] It is part of a long term series of films about Mekas (Jonas in the Desert (1991), Jonas at the Ocean (2004)). The earlier films were focused more on Mekas' work, while this film is more about the life of the 'legend of film avant-garde' as he enters his 90s, still working, and still maintaining relevance in the modern world.
