BRAKHAGE:  THE FINAL WORD
directed by:  Benjamin Meade
written by:  Benjamin Meade
nation:  US (Kansas)
runtime:  27 minutes

Brakhage:  The Final Word is a vital short documentary.  Not long before his passing, the grandfather of experimental film, Stan Brakhage, (recently celebrated with the Criterion Collection DVD By Brakhage), sat down with director Benjamin Meade discuss his life, his longings, and the state of film in America.  Edited with expressionist breaks that emulate the late filmmaker's aesthetic, Brakhage:  The Final Word captures the congenial master for the final time on camera.

Brakhage:  The Final Word plays in OUTSIDE LOOKING IN, a program of short films about the creation of art and film.

Brakhage:  The Final Word shows at:
11:30 AM - Friday March 5
4:15 PM - Saturday March 6
