{"product_id":"9781439905296","title":"Stan Brakhage: Filmmaker","description":"\u003ci\u003eStan Brakhage: Filmmaker\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of essays, photographs, personal statements, and reminiscences about the celebrated avant-garde filmmaker who died in 2003. The director of nearly four hundred short films, including \u003ci\u003eDog Star Man,\u003c\/i\u003e Parts I-IV, and the \u003ci\u003eRoman Numeral Series\u003c\/i\u003e, Brakhage is widely recognized as one of the great artists of the medium. His shorts eschewed traditional narrative structure, and his innovations in fast cutting, hand-held camerawork, and multiple superimpositions created an unprecedentedly rich texture of images that provided the vocabulary for the explosion of independent filmmaking in the 1960s. \u003ci\u003eStan Brakhage: Filmmaker\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles both the director's personal and formal development. The essays in this book—by historians, filmmakers, and other artists—assess Brakhage's contributions to the aesthetic and political history of filmmaking, from his emergence on the film scene and the establishment of his reputation, to the early-1980s. The result is a remarkable tribute to this lyrical, visionary artist.","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158401270000,"sku":"9781439905296","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781439905296_p0.jpg?v=1763758105","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781439905296","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
