THE STARS ARE BEAUTIFUL

by Stan BRAKHAGE
1974 / 16mm / color / sound / 1S / 18' 30

This project was supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. This is the first sound film I've completed since 1962 – the first synch sound ever. It is a philosophical film... extending the realm of BLUE MOSES. Its finest viewer, so far, has written: "The sun, – moon – and stars, really are the footprints of God. – and the broken fragments of the mirror that reflects reality. – and they are quite beautiful. I had not seen them before." – John Newell. This film is dedicated to James Broughton. – S.B.
