Description
On this week’s “Experimental Edition” of Unwatchables we welcome Tim Peyton, the manager/director of Rubicon Cinema in Akron, OH, to help us dive into some of the most alienating corners of avant-garde filmmaking. First up is Stan Brakhage’s 1965 experimental touchstone Dog Star Man, followed by E. Elias Merhige’s 1989 gruesome horror curiosity Begotten. We discuss how non-narrative films challenge our basic assumptions about film grammar, what makes one work of unconventional abstraction “work” better than another, and whether Begotten is just gross nonsense.
Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.
