Songs - Stan Brakhage - 8 mm
In 2015, we proposed a first symposium on experimental cinema. Under the same title (Creating/performing/preserving) we are using the same formula: inviting filmmakers, researchers and specialists in experimental cinema to discuss current practice, the history of the practice and its place in our programming. We also offer, in the evening, high-level programs that intertwine recent short films, performances and screenings of films from the Songs series by Stan Brakhage, in 8mm, kept in our collections.
Since the 1960s, we have kept many films from the legendary Songs series by the no less legendary Stan Brakhage. Some of the films from this series will be presented in their original format (8 mm) for the very first time here.
