Mothlight by Stan Brakhage 1963

surprisingly, mothlight's awesomeness holds up somewhat, even on youtube. one of cinema's great moments. if you ever get the opportunity to see the film version projected on a screen, run for it.

@fredgreentomatoes You got to see this on the big screen?? I assume you are a film student (or you just have access to amazing underground cinemas)

[fredgreentomatoes]

@MonsieurRondu once upon a time...but in 16mm

Thank you for posting this. I got to see it live several years ago with Stan Brakhage speaking. It is such an inspiration!

Watch this short while listening to "Nearly Lost You" by Screaming Trees. Now, THAT is trippy.
