Stan Brakhage 1997 Comingled Containers

[@c.nelson3747]

This just might be my favorite Brakhage. It's so beautiful. I've always loved water, but I've NEVER seen it filmed like this before. It's completely ethereal here, the whole short looks like something that no human could create, but Stan did it, and all he did was put a Bolex camera underwater. So soothing, so gorgeous, so timeless, completely perfect.

He opened up whole new worlds of beauty that wouldn't exist otherwise if it wasn't for him.

Fascinating visual artist. Why does most of Stan Brakhage's films have no soundtrack?

[@brandonsichling257]

I've been told that he'd say the sound of film going through a projector was the soundtrack.

[@dimked]

Because this is visual music...

[@zantigar]

Why don't paintings have a soundtrack? Why don't photos have a soundtrack? Brakhage thinks of most of his films as moving paintings, better viewed without the influence of sound or music. In silence, the viewer can feel the rhythm of the film in a purely visual form.

[@m87.photovideo]

Try making your own soundtrack in your head, whatever noise the image inspires

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Just feel it. Don't try and understand it.
