One of the most radically inventive works of the American avant-garde, Stan Brakhage’s five-part epic blurs psychological and cosmological scales of perception. The film follows a mythical narrative of a woodsman ascending a snowy mountain, with Brakhage employing astrophotography, multiple superimpositions, rapid montage, and handpainting to create a dream of subjective experience. Inducted into the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 1992, the film is presented on a rarely screened 16mm print from the Walker’s collection. 1961–1964, US, 16mm, silent, 78 min.Part of Cinema Revived: Timeless Selections from the Vault, an ongoing presentation of notable feature-length films from the Ruben/Bentson Moving Image Collection.
