Going Home
Adolfas Mekas, 1972, 61 min

“In 1971, after a nearly 30-year absence, Adolfas and his brother Jonas Mekas returned to their birthplace in Lithuania. They had left Lithuania as young men, destined for a German labour camp. After they came home, Adolfas with his wife, the singer Pola Chapelle, “sang and walked across golden fields and feasted at crowded tables with family and friends. There are flowers for the dead and for the living in this film; it is full of flowers and songs.” – The Film-Makers’ Cooperative
