Dog Star Man
Stan Brakhage, USA, 1961-1964, 78 min

 

Probably his most famous work, Dog Star Man is a film cycle composed of a prelude and four distinct segments that, in their entirety, span seventy-eight minutes. He worked on the film from 1961 to 1964 and it fluctuates between different layers of image and superimposition. Each segment is compositionally and even narratively different, ranging from subjects such as the beginning of the universe and the Fall of Man. Later, he would expand the film into the four hour epic, the Art of Vision.

Mayhem bassist to have evil spirits driven out of him on Norwegian National TV

Repost du Terrorizer Newshound :


Bob Larson, a well known American radio and tv evangelist and apparently one of the leading practitioners of modern Christian exorcisms, will conduct an exorcism next week on Jørn Stubberud, best known as the bassist in black metal band Mayhem (where he performs under the stage name ‘Necrobutcher’). The entire event will be filmed by NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation), the Norwegian government-owned radio and television public broadcasting company and the largest media organization in Norway, for a special program which will be aired in Norway in October.


By the late 1980s, Larson was often heard performing exorcisms of callers on the air, including Glen Benton of the death metal band Deicide, who became a regular caller.

‘Here in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States we are enduring our hottest weather of the year, so I found it quite refreshing to see these images from photographer/cinematographer Hervé Demers, who is currently living in Montréal, Canada. Demers is an award winning filmmaker whose latest work is called Le Grand Sault, a contemporary adaptation of a 200 year old Quebec folk/war story. A cinematic eye is evident in Demers’ photographic images, with the unique twist of using the narrowed view of square format, which is unexpected coming from a filmmaker. I like this dichotomy of vision …’ (ici)
