MOTHLIGHT DISTRIBUTED   2013

Cameraless video. Silent. 03:30

 

Mothlight is a 1963 film by Stan Brakhage made without the use of a camera by pressing mothwings between strips of splicing tape and sending it to a lab to print. I met Brakhage in the 80's after his film Dog Star Man had been released on VHS. I asked him how he felt about it. He said he hated how it looked but more people were getting to see it. Mothlight Disrtibuted, also made without use of a camera, is culled from versions of Mothlight on Youtube.
