Over the course of more than five decades, the American experimental filmmaker
Stan Brakhage produced a large body of work. All films in the
filmography are assumed to be
silent, in
color, and are meant to be shown at 24 frames per second, unless otherwise noted. The Brakhage films, comprising his edited originals, intermediate elements, and other original material, are housed at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Film Archive, where a long-term project is underway to preserve and restore his entire film output.
Fifty-six of these films are available on
DVD (as two separate volumes) and
Blu-ray from the Criterion Collection.
