Now to figure out how I am going to plan a trip to Nottingham.
Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

Thom - FYI: BFI screening of 3 Brakhage films.
Also, I'm aware I haven't written up my thoughts. That's partly because I was somewhat perplexed by the film, but also because I haven't found the motivation to do so. I will try and stir some up this week.

Still a bit too far.
Looking forward to your comments and the potential for some Brakhage conversations.

This thread is amazing. Just read most of it, from Page 1 through this page, while contemplating whether I should purchase the By Brakhage Blu-ray on the last day of the Barnes and Noble sale. If I can get my gift cards to combine, I think I'll do that.
EDIT: I'm disturbed by B&N's inclusion of "Pan and Scan" in its product listing for the anthology on Blu-ray:
Blu-ray (Pan & Scan)
$39.99

Brakhage seldom (if ever?) worked in widescreen formats. I wonder if B&N lists every 4:3 film as "pan and scan"?

That is the ratio for his 35mm films, so you may be correct. Nothing is clipped in these discs, and you get the full frame for every film. I heartily recommend the blu-ray, as you get a much better feel for the films than you do in previous releases.

Thanks Darren, M. The Blu-ray has shipped, so I'll probably be spending time with it this weekend.
I'm going to start with the first film of the first disc, which I'm assuming is the same on the Blu-ray as on the standard-def, even though I struggled with it mightily during previous viewing attempts. If you have a better recommended starting point, please suggest it. (Maybe it's earlier in this thread; I'll check.)
