Stan Brakhage, was an American non-narrative filmmaker. He is considered to be one of the most important figures in 20th-century experimental film.
Over the course of five decades, Brakhage created a large and diverse body of work, exploring a variety of formats, approaches and techniques that included handheld camerawork, painting directly onton celluloid, fast cutting, in-camera editing, scratching on film, collage film and the use of multiple exposures. Intersted in mythology and inspired by music, poetry, and visual phenomena, Brakhage sought to reveal the universal in the particular, expolring themes of birth, mortality, sexuality and innocence.Brakhage's films are often noted for their expressiveness and lyricism.
I think Brakhage communicated perfectly the emotions and by a very aesthetic and beautiful way.I love the colours of his films, they are so armonious; the videos are always very texturised. I actually did some scratching film but only my former tutor has them and he doesn't seem to answear my emails.
Anyway, I think that in my head this project is going to be Brakhage inspired, but it probably won't look like it at all. But in the colors, and the fact that details are filmed etc. At least my contribution was definitly inspired by him. His work seems like it's magic and I really want to communicate that a bit, like a sort of different dimension but actually in our dimension. I find his work really beautiful and touching, full of meanings.
