Brakhage

Stan Brakhage is a legend, possibly the most important filmmaker of the avant-garde, and one of the greatest artists of our time. Since 1952, at the age of nineteen, Brakhage has created over 300 films, ranging from several seconds to several hours, constantly and consistently redefining the shape of film art. “Brakhage” explores the depth and breadth of the filmmaker’s genius, the exquisite splendour of his films, his magical personal charm, his aesthetic fellow travellers, and the influence his work has had on generations of other creators. ‘“Excellent! A reverent, hagiographic, even mystical portrait of the canonical avant-gardist.” – Ed Halter, New York Press
