A year ago, I stumbled upon a website that had a fantastic surplus of Stan Brakhage film scans, reviews, Brakhage’s writing, and transcriptions of Brakhage’s lectures. I pulled plenty of Brakhage film scans to my desktop — time passed, and I forgot the source of these scans — and I have periodically DINCAblogged these gorgeous scans, and the source never got accredited … that is, until now.

The source is Fred Camper’s website, and I apologize for not accrediting it earlier. Camper’s website is a Brakhage gold mine and an invaluable resource. Let us enjoy the beauty of Stan Brakhage’s work.
