Dog Star Man (1961-1964)

Stan Brakhage

A series of short experimental films, all directed by Stan Brakhage. It was released during 1961 to 1964 and comprises of a prelude and four parts.

Described as a "cosmological epic" and "creation myth" (particularly the Prelude), Dog Star Man visually illustrates the odyssey of a bearded woodsman (Brakhage) climbing through a snow-covered mountain with his dog in order to chop down a tree. While doing so, he has various mystical visions with various recurring imagery such as a woman, child, nature, and the cosmos.

Blinkity Blank (1955)

Norman McLaren

This experimental short film by Norman McLaren is a playful exercise in intermittent animation and spasmodic imagery. Playing with the laws relating to persistence of vision and after-image on the retina of the eye, McLaren engraves pictures on blank film creating vivid, percussive effects.
