Mothlight (1963/Brakhage) A "found foliage" film composed of insects, leaves, and other detritus sandwiched between two strips of perforated tape. Interesting experiment in expanding the parameters of what is considered cinema. Personally, I saw it as a comment of sorts on the invisible hyperactivity in nature, that what may appear soft and slow and gentle, at its micro-levels, is hectic and rapid-fire. We viewed Window Water Baby Moving after this, which is just a silent film showing the birth of Brakhage's daughter, but I couldn't quite bring myself to watch.
