On October 9, 1972, the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse hosted an exhibition of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s work, designed by Fluxus artist George Maciunas. That same day, friends including Ringo Starr, Allen Ginsberg, and Paul Krassner gathered to celebrate Lennon’s birthday. Jonas Mekas’s film records the event in both image and sound, capturing the spirit of the moment and the community around Lennon and Ono.

John Lennon and Miles Davis OH MY GOODNESS.
Mekas was one of the most special humans to ever exist. His power is unbelievable, he’s pure magic. He has changed me completely and the way I understand, see and absorb things. Thank you, wherever you are, thank you.
