Question a Day

About This Movie

Question a Day is this intimate dive into the mind of Jonas Mekas, the founder of Anthology Film Archives, through a series of simple yet layered questions. Andrew Lampert, who seems to have a knack for capturing the essence of his subjects, engages Mekas in a way that feels both casual and profound. The film's pace is conversational, allowing the viewer to soak in Mekas' thoughts on art, life, and cinema, while the atmosphere is enriched by its documentary style and the charisma of Mekas himself. It’s not flashy or filled with effects, but the charm lies in the dialogue and the reflective moments woven throughout.

Question a Day has seen limited releases, primarily in festival circuits and niche screenings, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. The film is often regarded for its candid portrayal of Mekas and serves as a valuable artifact for those interested in avant-garde cinema and film history. As a piece that captures the essence of a legendary filmmaker’s thoughts, it garners interest for its intimate, raw format and the behind-the-scenes look at a pivotal figure in independent film.
