These films are among Brakhage’s most beautiful, lush, and painterly works. In the collection are included 2 landscape studies, 2 hand-painted films, and 2 uniquely personal reactions to foreign environments. These films represent some of Brakhage’s most enduring concerns and problems of representation, personal vision, and the use of camera-vision to come to grips with new and unknown places and situations. –G.
