Brakhage, James Stanley
▪ 2004
“Stan”; Robert Sanders 
      American filmmaker (b. Jan. 14, 1933, Kansas City, Mo.—d. March 9, 2003, Victoria, B.C.), created hundreds of unique experimental films and was considered a leading figure of the American experimental cinema. Brakhage's goal in his films was to free the act of seeing from the constraints of representation and expectation. He used a variety of methods, creating films that ranged in length from a few seconds to several hours and showed visions ranging from those produced by cinematography to those made by gluing objects to the celluloid and scratching and painting the celluloid. He also taught filmmaking at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1969–81) and at the University of Colorado at Boulder (1981–2002). His best-known film, Dog Star Man (1964), is considered a key work of the American avant-garde.
