Mothlight
Originally released in 1963. Mothlight is a animation film. directed by Stan Brakhage. At just 4 minutes, it's a tight, focused story.
Synopsis
Seemingly at random, the wings and other bits of moths and insects move rapidly across the screen. Most are brown or sepia; up close, we can see patterns within wings, similar to the veins in a leaf. Sometimes the images look like paper cutouts, like Matisse. Green objects occasionally appear. Most wings are translucent. The technique makes them appear to be stuck directly to the film.
