Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of Fluxfilm No. 2, this embodies Fluxus' war on 'high art' hierarchies — cinema as chewable, disposable, democratic.

Insight

Brakhage himself pioneered 'visionary' filmmaking; Higgins' 'invocation' is both tribute and desecration, eating the master's medium.
