Stan Brakhage films the birth of his first child, Myrrena.
Brakhage attempts to transcribe the emotions of childbirth to film.
Beautiful piece of film, leads up well to The Act of Seeing
Stan Brakhage has made more than 250 films, most of them silent, all of them good.
"We have the notion that we exist but we have no way to prove it. 'I am' is the closest foundation we can get." -Brakhage,
this reminds me a lot of a quote from my friend emile- "there is everything to prove we are humans, and there is everything to prove we are animals, but you cant say anything about it because it doesnt mean anything..."
