Stan Brakhage is widely regarded as the most influential avant-garde filmmaker of all time.
His expansive body of work of near-400 films is notorious for its ambition, innovation and variety of techniques, including in-camera editing, multiple exposure, collage, scratching, and painting directly onto celluloid.
Inspired by music, poetry, and visual phenomena, Brakhage sought to reveal the universal, with a keen focus on the themes of “birth, sex, death, and the search for God”.
