Challenging all taboos in his exploration of “birth, sex, death, and the search for God,” he turned his camera on explicit lovemaking, childbirth, even autopsy. Many of his most famous works pursue the nature of vision itself and transcend the act of filming. Some, including the legendary Mothlight, were created without using a camera at all, as he pioneered the art of making images directly on film, by drawing, painting, and scratching. With these two volumes, we present the definitive Brakhage collection—fifty-six of his works, from across his career, in high-definition digital transfers.\u003cbr\u003e\n*VOLUME ONE (ONE DISC)*\u003cbr\u003e\n* High-definition digital transfers of all twenty-six films, with uncompressed audio for those with sound:\u003cbr\u003e\nDESISTFILM\u003cbr\u003e\n1954 • 6 minutes, 48 seconds • 16 mm • Monaural\u003cbr\u003e\nWEDLOCK HOUSE: AN INTERCOURSE\u003cbr\u003e\n1959 • 10 minutes, 47 seconds • 16 mm • Silent\u003cbr\u003e\nDOG STAR MAN\u003cbr\u003e\n1961–64 • 74 minutes, 34 seconds • 16 mm • Silent\u003cbr\u003e\nTHE ACT OF SEEING WITH ONE’S OWN EYES\u003cbr\u003e\n1971 • 31 minutes, 50 seconds • 16 mm • Silent\u003cbr\u003e\nCAT’S CRADLE\u003cbr\u003e\n1959 • 6 minutes, 16 seconds • 16 mm • Silent\u003cbr\u003e\nWINDOW WATER BABY MOVING\u003cbr\u003e\n1959 • 12 minutes, 11 seconds • 16 mm • Silent\u003cbr\u003e\nMOTHLIGHT\u003cbr\u003e\n1963 • 3 minutes, 13 seconds • 16 mm • Silent\u003cbr\u003e\nEYE MYTH\u003cbr\u003e\n1967 • 9 seconds • 16 mm • Silent\u003cbr\u003e\nTHE WOLD-SHADOW\u003cbr\u003e\n1972 • 2 minutes, 24 seconds • 16 mm • Silent\u003cbr\u003e\nTHE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS\u003cbr\u003e\n1981 • 1 minute, 43 seconds • 35 mm • Silent\u003cbr\u003e\nTHE STARS ARE BEAUTIFUL\u003cbr\u003e\n1974 • 18 minutes, 27 seconds • 16 mm • Monaural\u003cbr\u003e\nKINDERING\u003cbr\u003e\n1987 • 2 minutes, 51 seconds • 16 mm • Monaural\u003cbr\u003e\nI . . .
