Songs (Stan Brakhage cycle)
1962 series of American artistic films / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Songs are a cycle of silent color 8mm films by the American experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage produced from 1964 to 1969. They are seen as one of Brakhage's major works [1][2] and include the feature-length 23rd Psalm Branch, considered by some to be one of the filmmaker's masterworks[3] and described by film historian P. Adams Sitney as "an apocalypse of imagination."[4] One of the filmmaker's most overtly political films, 23rd Psalm Branch is often interpreted as being Brakhage's reaction to the Vietnam War.[5]
