The dean of American experimental filmmakers, Stan Brakhage has created more than 300 films over the past four decades, which have redefined the forms of avant-garde practice. While he has labored in diverse genres (documentaries, psychodramas, hand-painted abstractions), his work remains distinctive, marked by gestural camera movements and hand-crafted, manipulated surfaces. For Brakhage, the film image serves not merely as a conveyor of representational content or narrative meaning, but rather as the record of an intensive act of seeing and as "metaphors on vision." Despite the often private nature of many of his concerns--ironic for an artist working in such an ostensibly public medium--and despite his self-imposed exile in the mountains of Colorado, Brakhage's figure has continued to cast a large shadow across the independent and experimental cinemas and represents an exemplary practice that remains unmatched in the history of the medium.

I'm with Browner on the Baraka tip... I thought it was pretty good, but a little too New Age corny for me, and the narrative was a little out of place. No question though, there's a lot of beautiful shit in it. I liked Koyaanisqatsi better, it was a little more unexpected and had more interesting use cameras.

 

I need to cop this Brakhage thing though... any tips on where to start?
