Duration 5 min
Synopsis
A small port in South of France, a lighthouse, the sea. The year was 1966. The month of July. I was visiting Jerome Hill; Jerome loved France,especially Provence. He spent all his summers in Cassis. My window overlooked the sea. I sat in my little room, reading or writing, and looked at the sea. I decided to place my Bolex exactly at the angle of light as what Seurat saw from his studio which was just behind where I was staying, and film the view from morning till after sunset, frame by frame. This film is the result of it. - Jonas Mekas
