The Birds Of Paradise (1999)

Directed by Stan Brakhage

Overview

This is a hand-painted work which involves a variety of colors applied within gouged and scratched shapes which approximate both swift shifts of bird-shape (legs, beaks and feather-spreads especially) and the Bird of Paradise flower-form as well, the former tending to metamorphize into the latter across the course of the work.  Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2017.

Length 3 minutes
