Short | Documentary | Music
Jonas Mekas transforms footage of the Ringling Brothers Circus into a rapid-fire montage set to music, structured in four segments that highlight different acts. Earlier images reappear in later sections as background to new performances, with the accelerated pacing of the clips mirroring the rhythm and energy of the soundtrack.

Seems only appropriate that Jonas Mekas is included in the WHAT IS CINEMA doc and has a short film in the extras. Mekas recently passed away and was a huge contributor to the cinema world not just with his films but in establishing a foundation that lives on today.
