10/1/17 review of book Metaphors on Vision, by Stan Brakhage

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of Metaphors on Vision, by Stan Brakhage.

The thread gives some context of the book, a classic work of film theory by, in my opinion, the greatest filmmaker of all time so far. The thread discusses some of the book's themes, like the physical and psychological senses of vision, art within daily and family life, the mysteries of birth and death, and disengaging film from narrative.

The thread also includes a "sub-thread" about my own personal experiences with the Anthology Film Archives in New York City, as Anthology was doing a talk and screening to celebrate the re-release of Metaphors on Vision.

Here is the link to the website for Anthology Film Archives.

Metaphors on Vision was re-released by Light Industry publishers. The book is now sold out. But Light Industry has other great books available.
