Jonas Mekas (] ; born December 24, 1922) is a Lithuanian American filmmaker, poet and artist who has often been called "the godfather of American avant-garde cinema."
 His work has been exhibited in museums and festivals worldwide.
Adolfas Mekas (30 September 1925 – 31 May 2011) was a Lithuanian-born filmmaker, writer, director, editor, actor and educator.
 With his brother Jonas Mekas, he founded the magazine "Film Culture", as well as the Film-Makers' Cooperative and was associated with George Maciunas and the Fluxus art movement at its beginning.
 He made several short films, culminating in the feature "Hallelujah the Hills" in 1963, which was played at the Cannes Film Festival of that year and is now considered a classic of American film.
Split Film Festival or Split International Festival of New Film, is one of the oldest film and video festivals in Croatia that showcases new, creative, personal, radical works of all styles, themes, genres and lengths, whether film, or new media, preferably from outside the mainstream.
 Festival's previous guests included Chris Marker, Jonas Mekas, Jean Marie Straub & Daniele Huillot, late Stan Brakhage, Claire Denis, Bela Tarr, Lars von Trier and Cyrus Frisch.
Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania is a 1971–72 documentary film by Jonas Mekas.
 It revolves around Mekas' trip back to Semeniškiai, the village of his birth.
 In 2006, the film was selected to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, for its "cultural, aesthetic, or historical significance".
New Folk Media is a developing movement in experimental film and video art which is concerned with the use of existing media for artistic expression without regard for copyright or ownership.
 The movement traces its roots in Joseph Cornell and his film Rose Hobart and other found footage films.
 It can also be traced to Sergei Eisenstein's aborted film project Que Viva Mexico which has been edited by countless filmmakers and artists including Kenneth Anger.
 Other early examples that have influenced the development of New Folk Media can be found in the works of Bruce Conner, Jonas Mekas, Ken Jacobs, Craig Baldwin and Kenneth Anger.
Jonas in the Jungle is a 2013 documentary film by Peter Sempel about the filmmaker Jonas Mekas.
 It is part of a long term series of films about Mekas ("Jonas in the Desert" (1991), "Jonas at the Ocean" (2004)).
 The earlier films were focused more on Mekas' work, while this film is more about the life of the 'legend of film avant-garde' as he enters his 90's, still working, and still maintaining relevance in the modern world.
Film Culture was an American film magazine started by Adolfas Mekas and his brother Jonas Mekas in 1954.
 The headquarters was in New York City.
 Best known for exploring the avant-garde cinema in depth, it also published articles on other aspects of cinema, including Hollywood films.
The Brig is a play written by former U.S. Marine Kenneth H. Brown (born 1936).
 It was first performed in New York by The Living Theatre on May 13, 1963, with a production filmed in 1964 by Jonas Mekas.
 It was revived in New York in 2007.
 "The Brig" received three Obie Awards in 1964: for Best Production (play), Best Design (Julian Beck) and Best Direction (Judith Malina).
 The 2007 revival received an Obie Special Citation for its ensemble and director Judith Malina.
Vyt Bakaitis (born 1940) is an American translator, editor, and poet born in Lithuania and living in New York City.
 His first collection of poetry "City Country" (1991) was followed by "Deliberate Proof" (2010).
 Thirst, the magazine he co-edited with Benjamin Sloan, lasted only a few issues, but his translations of Lithuanian poetry are significant; particularly the 20th-century anthology "Breathing Free" (2001), which he also edited.
 Three additional volumes he translated from the Lithuanian are by contemporary poets Jonas Mekas and Julius Keleras.
 He was married to the late artist Sharon Gilbert.
Donald Siegel ( ; October 26, 1912 – April 20, 1991) was an American film director and producer.
 His name variously appeared in the credits of his films as both Don Siegel and Donald Siegel.
 He is best known for the original sci-fi film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956), as well as five films with Clint Eastwood, including the police thriller "Dirty Harry" (1971) and the prison drama "Escape from Alcatraz" (1979), and John Wayne's final film the 1976 Western "The Shootist".
