Robert Delany and Bennett Glace join host Craig Wright to discuss a pair of later Stan Brakhage works that rarely receive the attention of earlier landmarks such as Mothlight (1963) or Window Water Baby Moving (1959). These films, one painted on film exploring the psychic effects of television (Delicacies of Molten Horror Synapse, 1990), the other shot on 16mm and produced shortly before Brakhage underwent surgery for bladder cancer (Commingled Containers, 1996), allow for discussions about how experimental cinema is taught in university settings and how to approach films that essentially challenge their viewers to unlearn everything they know about film viewing. Listen in and find out how these films demonstrate the range of this one-of-a-kind artist.
