P. Adams « Metaphors on Vision»

The classic text Metaphors on Vision by filmmaker Stan Brakhage (1933–2003), first published in 1963 as a special issue of "Film Culture," stands as a major theoretical statement by one of avant-garde cinema’s most important figures. Yet despite its undeniable influence, the complete Metaphors has remained out of print in the United States for more than 40 years. In conjunction with the publication of a new, definitive edition by Anthology Film Archives and Light Industry, on Thursday, January 25 at 7PM, the Walker Art Center presents a special screening of Brakhage’s work followed by a discussion with Ed Halter, curator, critic, scholar, and cofounder of Light Industry.
