  Stan Brakhage the realm buster

  Stan Brakhage's body of work counts as one of the most important within post-war avant-garde cinema, and yet it has rarely been given the attention it deserves. Over the years, though, diverse and original reflections have developed, distancing his figure little by little from critical categories. This collection of newly commissioned essays, plus some important reprinted work, queries some of the consensus on Brakhage's films. In particular, many of these essays revolve around the controversial issues of representation and perception.This project sets out from the assumption that Brakhage's art is articulated primarily through opposing tensions, which donate his figure and films an extraordinary depth, even as they evince fleetingness, elusivity and paradoxicality. This collection aims not only to clarify aspects of Brakhage's art, but also to show how his work is involved in a constant mediation between antinomies and opposites. At the same time, his art presents a multifaceted object endlessly posing new questions to the viewer, for which no point of entry or perspective is preferred in respect to the others. Acknowledging this, this volume hopes that the experience of his films will be revitalised.Featuring topics as diverse as the technical and semantic ambiguity of blacks, the fissures in mimetic representation of the 'it' within the 'itself' of an image, the film-maker as practical psychologist through cognitive theories, the critique of ocularcentrism by mingling sight with other senses such as touch, films that can actually philosophise in a Wittgensteinian way, political guilt and collusion in aesthetic forms, a disjunctive, reflexive, and phenomenological temporality realising Deleuze's image-time, and the echoes of Ezra Pound and pneumophantasmology in the quest of art as spiritual revelation; this book addresses not only scholars, but also is a thorough and thought-provoking introduction for the uninitiated. Contributors include: Nicky Hamlyn, Peter Mudie, Paul Taberham, Gareth Evans, Rebecca A. Sheehan, Christina Chalmers, Stephen Mooney and Marco Lori.

  A Legacy of Love - Shh! Finding...

  Losing her mother at 15, Analee’s life changed dramatically. Thrust into a manipulative, controlling, and abusive environment, Analee’s childhood dreams were shattered, and her future was stolen by those who’d promised to love and protect her. 
  Forced into a loveless marriage at 18, Analee, like her mother before her, tried to make the most of the brutal situation, conforming to the will of her husband and in-laws through years of suffering and abuse. The neglect of her husband and the growing vitriol of his family took a terrible toll on Analee, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. There seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel. 
  Recalling her mother’s faith, Analee turned to Jesus—to survive. 
  "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. He who sits on the throne says, ‘Look, I am making everything new!’” 
  (Rev. 21:4-5) 
  Analee’s story is one of faith’s triumph over tragedy, the sufficiency of God’s grace and strength in our weakness, and the discovery of His overwhelmingly tender love. When Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith enters in, tragedy, grief, and brokenness will not have the last word. 
  Today, happily remarried, Analee embraces the legacy of her mother Alma, following in her footsteps, ministering encouragement and hope to others.
