Works Cited

La description

This work is both a heavily annotated collection of the reports Stan Brakhage did on the Telluride Film Festival for the magazine Rolling Stock and an analysis of his work that attempts to place his singular corpus in the context of world cinema—that is to say, alongside those filmmakers he was encountering in that mountain town.

Reviews

Impressively informative, exceptionally well written, thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, Stan Brakhage in Rolling Stock, 1980-1990 is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, community, and academic library Film & Media Studies collections in general, and Stan Brakhage supplemental studies reading lists in particular.

A book of nooks and crannies, Brakhage in Rolling Stock is amply annotated both with notes and White's own essays. In addition to a bibliography and index, the back matter includes a selection of Brakhage's letters to the festival directors, a Telluride filmography, and B. Ruby Rich's prescient review of Hans-Jürgen Syberberg's Hitler: A Film from Germany (1977), originally published in the L. A. Reader in 1980. White also cites a piece I wrote for American Film in 1983, bracketing Tarkovsky with Brakhage and Syberberg as conservative avant gardists, as an inspiration for his book. If so, I have been amply rewarded by the existence of this lively, eccentric volume.
