On October 9th, 1972 an exhibition of John Lennon/Yoko Ono’s art, designed by the Master of the Fluxus movement, George Maciunas, opened at the Syracuse Museum of Art, curated by David Ross, presently Director of Whitney Museum, in New York. On the same day an unusual group of John’s and Yoko’s friends, including Ringo, Allen Ginsberg, Paul Krasner, and many others, gathered to celebrate John’s birthday. This film is an visual and audio record of that event.
Director: Jonas Mekas.
Stars: Allen Ginsberg, Paul Krassner, John Lennon, George Maciunas, Yoko Ono, Ringo Starr, Andy Warhol.
RIP Jonas Mekas (December 24, 1922 – January 23, 2019).
