Dog Star Man
Dog Star Man is a series of short experimental films, all directed by Stan Brakhage, featuring Jane Wodening.
It was released during 1961 to 1964 and comprises a prelude and four parts.
Described as a" cosmological epic" and" creation myth"( particularly the" Prelude Dog Star Man" illustrates the odyssey of a bearded woodsman( Brakhage) climbing through a snow- covered mountain with his dog to chop down a tree.
While doing so, he witnesses various mystical visions with various recurring imagery such as a woman, child, nature, and the cosmos while making his ascent.
The five short films all form one larger film, and they are almost always shown together as one film.
In 1965, Brakhage used the same footage from" Dog Star Man" and re-edited it into a much longer film," The Art of Vision".
Both are generally considered the greatest works of his first mature period.
The entire film( Prelude and Parts 1 through 4) was named to the National Film Registry in 1992.
