GME Notes the Recent Passing of Peter Beard

GME notes the recent passing of genre-bending wildlife photographer Peter Beard, an international adventurer and species protector, as well as a participant in the early days of the New American Cinema.

HALLELUJAH THE HILLS (1963), Adolphas Mekas’s debut feature film featuring a young, under-dressed Peter Beard, is a gloriously funny and far-out farce which bears witness to the immense freedom to be found in the films of the New American Cinema.

Gartenberg Media distributes this and other films by Adolfas Mekas, Jonas Mekas and other important filmmakers from this period on DVD to North American educational markets.
