Journal Article
Edith Kramer on Mark Toscano's \Archiving Brakhage\
2019
Overview
\"Archiving Brakhage\" was published in November 2006, one year after my retirement: which is to say, I do not recall reading it when it first appeared, and only discovered the article in the course of browsing through online back issues for this assignment. [...]it provides anyone, with or without previous knowledge of Brakhage's films, considerable insight into his work: access to his innovative techniques, aesthetic choices, an appreciation of the economy of a no-budget but prolific filmmaker, as well as the special relationship between filmmaker and laboratory. [...]the size, breadth, and diversity of Brakhage's output make him a near-perfect exemplar of the many different tribulations faced by a preservationist of experimental film work.\" [...]of this incredibly intense assembly of his films, the originals are sometimes quite fragile. Though he acknowledged their mediocrity, Stan approved and released these prints, likely due to a combination of his faith and emotional investment in the lab, and his lack of time and resources to endure the massive undertaking of challenging the lab's substandard work and/or changing labs altogether.
