Description: EISENSTEIN & BRAKHAGE
*****
The Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein is widely recognized as the leading experimenter and investigator of visual meanings, and the ways they are formed. His masterpieces such as Potemkin and Ivan the Terrible are monuments of both the aesthetic and the social/historical aspects of the medium. All seven of his films will be viewed, accompanied by lecturers and discussions. Stan Brakhage, the American filmmaker whose death last year was noted in network news, is widely regarded as the leading exponent of the medium known as avant-garde film. Like Einstein, he was a primary investigator of the limits and methods of visual meanings. For the second half of the course, a selection of Brakhage's most important works, from Prelude to Dogstar Man to Anticipation of the Night, will be viewed with accompanying lectures and discussions.
