Mothlight (1963)

Seemingly at random, the wings and other bits of moths and insects move rapidly across the screen. Most are brown or sepia; up close, we can see patterns within wings, similar to the veins in a leaf. Sometimes the images look like paper cutouts, like Matisse. Green objects occasionally appear. Most wings are translucent. The technique makes them appear to be stuck directly to the film.

Aesthetically interesting and hugely influential. Pretty good I guess.

Off of the complilation DVD Brakhage. This experimental film is simply various insects squeezed in between two strips of film and run through a projector. This may not sound interesting but Stan Brakhage was one of the preeminent experimental filmmakers of the 60's and influenced many people such as Martin Scorsese, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. This is not the strongest of his experiemtal shorts but it is one that can be easily digested. These shorts were probably the precursor to what today we would call multi-media.

Beautiful, dancing interplay of machine and nature. I really love when Brakhage toys with the medium like this. Although there are films of his that I like more as a whole, this is what I generally look to him for.

"What a moth might see from birth to death if black were white and white were black." - Stan Brakhage I think those words are enough, but before showing you my final grade, I MUST highlight the painstaking labor that this early experimental genius went through just for creating 3 and a half minutes of pure environmentalist gorgeousness! This is one of the cleverest concepts ever applied to a short film. 98/100

One of the most brilliant experimental films ever made, Brakhage's Mothlight plays the ultimate reversal; moths killed by their attraction to the light are reanimated on screen, given life again in the world of cinema and in a sense, Brakhage lives on through this film.
