GOING HOME (US, 1972, Adolfas Mekas and Pola Chapelle)

/
 

Made by Adolfas Mekas and Pola Chapelle, GOING HOME is about childhood memories, life's hardships, and the durability of families.

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 labor 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 catalogue

GOING HOME screened at the New York Film Festival, London Film Festival, and Manneheim Festival, among others. GME is thrilled to distribute this title as a DSL file to the North American institutional market.
