Three tributes to three key friendships in Mekas’s life: Scenes from the Life of Andy Warhol follows Warhol across a variety of settings and situations between 1965 and 1982, featuring cameos by the Velvet Underground, Edie Sedgwick, Barbara Rubin, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Mick Jagger, and countless others; Happy Birthday to John documents a small birthday party for Lennon, held in a hotel room in Syracuse, NY following the opening of his and Ono’s Fluxus exhibition, which was designed by artist George Maciunas; and Zefiro Torna compiles footage of Maciunas shot by Mekas over the years, arriving at an emotionally reverberant and deeply personal homage to the Fluxus founder (and fellow Lithuanian).
