Thurston Moore / Jonas Mekas & Friends
Concerts
Edit Film Culture! features a rare solo performance by Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), followed by a band of 11 avant-garde musicians, all friends and longtime collaborators of Jonas Mekas. They will perform a live soundtrack in dialogue with Jonas Mekas's most recent feature film OUTTAKES FROM THE LIFE OF A HAPPY MAN.
Unfortunately, Jonas Mekas himself had to cancel his attendance for health reasons.
Presented by Lithuanian Culture Institute.

Thurston Moore started Sonic Youth in 1980. Since then he has been at the forefront of the alternative rock scene since that particular sobriquet was first used to signify any music that challenged and defied the mainstream standard.
