The Stan Brakhage Clan!

[ASpaceBoyDream]

Hey everybody! I think it's time that we have a clan dedicated to recently deceased experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage!

Name yourself after your favorite Brakhage movie. I'll be The Dante Quartet.

[SinisterManus]

who? what are his movies?

[T'Chaka]

This is the one clan I'll join.

I've spent a few hours in person with Stan over the years and watched many, many of his short films.

I'll have to be Dogstar Man because it was the first Brakhage film I saw before moving to Boulder and meeting the man.

I'll be "The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes".

OK, here's our roster so far:

ASpaceBoyDream: The Dante Quartet
T'Chaka: Dog Star Man
eltigrediablo: The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes

Membership has exceeded my wildest dreams. Hopefully we can pick up a couple more today.

C'mon, guys. There's still plenty of room left. Who wants to join the Stan Brakhage clan?

I wanted to be the film where Brakahge glued dried flowers between transparent strips of leader, then ran the whole deal it through an optical printer, but I could not remember the name of it.

Instead, I'll be "Ephemeral Solidarity". A good internet forum name.
