In the 1920s Jewish immigrant inventor Jacques Bolsey aimed to disrupt the early film industry with a motion picture camera for the masses: the iconic Bolex. Over 90 years later, filmmaker Alyssa Bolsey pieces together the fragments of a forgotten family archive to reveal the epic story of her great-grandfather in "Beyond the Bolex." Interviewing family members and renowned filmmakers including Jonas Mekas, Alyssa uncovers Jacques' dramatic life story and his impact on generations of people.
This virtual film screening is presented in conjunction with the exhibition "Jonas Mekas: The Camera Was Always Running," celebrating the centenary of filmmaker, poet, artist, and Anthology Film Archives co-founder Jonas Mekas. Over 70 years, Mekas made 93 films and videos, amassing footage that was both a record of his life and a resource for his art and used the Bolex camera in much of his early work.
