Synopsis

The film doesn’t have much to do with the form of what’s known as Quartet. In 1991 I was despairing with the amount of unedited diaristic material that I had. I was searching for ways of dealing with it. This film is a result of my searching. (Text by Jonas Mekas)

Note: Mekas did not continue his Quartet-Project but moved on to a much bigger idea that resulted in the film As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty.
