Is it a nightmare or an actual view of a post-apocalyptic world? Set in an industrial town in which giant machines are constantly working, spewing smoke, and making noise that is inescapable, Henry Spencer lives in a building that, like all the others, appears to be abandoned. The lights flicker on and off, he has bowls of water in his dresser drawers, and for his only diversion he watches and listens to the Lady in the Radiator sing about finding happiness in heaven. Henry has a girlfriend, Mary X, who has frequent spastic fits. Mary gives birth to Henry’s child, a frightening looking mutant, which leads to the injection of all sorts of sexual imagery into the depressive and chaotic mix.Read More »

The Chilean Patricio Guzmán, in 1968 filmed “Notes on torture and other ways of dialogue” as a second-year practice in the EOC (Escuela Oficial de Cinematografía).

It is a denouncing piece that plays with the forms of advertising to denounce the repressive brutality of the Latin American governments but also the inaction of a certain part of the left.Read More »

In the autobiographical traditional of earlier SINCERITIES, this film takes up the light-threads of our living 14 years ago when the Brakhage family found Home and ‘settled’, like they say, into some sense of permanence. This quality of living in one place tends to destroy most senses of chronology; thus, along lines-of-thought of growing and shifting physicality, events CAN seem to be occurring simultaneously (a thought-process ‘kin to that of THE DOMAIN OF THE MOMENT), and the memory of such a time IS prompted and sustained by details of living usually overlooked or taken-for-granted (such as Proust’s cookie which prompted ‘The Remembrance of Things Past’). Michael McClure’s ‘Fleas’ and Andrew Noren’s THE EXQUISITE CORPSE III were additional sources of inspiration for the making of this work.Read More »

Made with assistance from the National Endowment for the Arts. This continuation of my autobiography is composed of film photographed by many people: Bruce Baillie, Jane Brakhage, Larry Jordan, and Stan Phillips, among others. Most of the footage is drawn from some 2,000 feet of ‘home movies,’ ‘out takes,’ and the like, salvaged from my photography over the years. It is of the Brakhage family’s coming into being. It is composed in the light of those electrical traces we call ‘memory’; and it is as true to that ‘thought process’ as I was enabled to make it.Read More »
