    Jonas Mekas \u2013 the godfather of Skersv\u0117jis, whose entire life was like an endless crosswind. \"I am the son of a farmer from Lithuania,\" he liked to introduce himself. Various winds and crosswinds carried Jonas Mekas from the village of Semeni\u0161kiai in the Bir\u017eai district to the windy streets of New York. What was supposed to be a temporary stop became his home, and with borrowed 200 dollars, he bought a Bolex film camera, which became the tool for capturing the world's crosswinds, showing them to others, and inspiring entire generations of creators.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
