Wonderful post! I learned about Stan Brakhage when I studied with R. Bruce Elder at Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University). Bruce was one of his closest friends, and I got to meet Stan before he died. Beautiful work produced by both of them!
🍿❤️🎬HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE! 🍿🎬📽
It’s time for Friday shorts! 🩳
This week we’ve chosen three short films by Stan Brakhage.
Brakhage is considered to be one of the most important figures in 20th-century experimental film. For anyone wanting to find out more, there is a fantastic interview with him from 1993 here: https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/interviews/all-that-light-stan-brakhage-film
Enjoy! 🍿🎬❤️

Wow, that must have been incredible! I know of R. Bruce Elder but I’m not so familiar with his work — it’s difficult to find online.
