1:20am

in between writing this thing i have been reading a lot and especially reading brakhage said, an unconfirmed account of stan brakhage's musings during a colorado lecture. i hope he said these things because i like them a lot. here are a few interesting ones:

“The brain does not think through in full story fragments.”

“It is not enough to take a picture of something and present it as evidence so that one doesn’t need to reflect on where this came from.”

“The strength of documentary is to tell the facts in an artistic way.”

he also apparently had some choice words for truffaut,

“I think Fahrenheit 451 is one of his best films because so much of the rest was a bunch of French bullshit.”

and said this too apparently:

“…the male penis…is there any other?”

which i hope is true
