Night Mulch

Stan Brakhage: 'A hand painted film and essentially about the interplay between hypnagogic vision and words, the effect of the one upon the other, the contest between the two. The words, such as 'Subversive' and 'Liberating' along with many which are unreadable, seem to struggle for an equality of viewer comprehension, almost as if the brain were coming to terms again with the origins of written language. In all cases, language is subsumed, but leaves a distinctive trail of itself distinct from the painted images.'
