Conceived as an episodic, horizontal film, there is no apparent direct story connection between one scene and the next. The scenes act like pieces of a larger, timed, emotional mosaic. Where the direct word, or the direct image, fails - when we come to more essential things - the indirectness of the poet will seize the essence and the truth. - J. M. It is a bitter but lyric work. It is also revolutionary in form, being unlike, in its technique, anything you ever saw. It is a poster declaration, a manifesto. I regard Guns of The Trees as the most important film by far of the American \"New Wave.\" - Herman G. Weinberg, New York Film-Makers' Cooperative Catalogue n°6, 1975 It may be one of the most personal and revealing films of the intellectual, beat and hip fringe of society of America today. - Gene Moskowitz, Cahiers du cinéma, N°119, May 1961 Producer/director, Jonas Mekas; assisted by Adolfas Mekas; co-assisted by Sheldon Rochlin, Charles Silver; score, Lucia Dlugoszewski; folk songs, Sara & Caithen Wiley and Tom Sankey; poetry written and spoken by Allen Ginsberg. Jonas Mekas was 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.
