Burial Path

1978
Short Film

Continuing the variable themes of thought process, Brakhage had paired his 1978 Burial Path with another short film of that year, Thot Fal'n, noting that, like the earlier piece, Burial Path "graphs the process of forgetfulness." But Burial Path is also about death, and was sometimes referred to (by Brakhage) as the third part of a trilogy, with Sirius Remembered (1959) and The Dead (1960).

The fleeting images work well at eliciting emotion for the most part, though my feelings about the film went up and down throughout.

Watching Brakhage tends to start these arguments in my head. I start falling into these anti-intellectual traps that I loathe... "boring", "random", "pretentious". And then the intellectual part of me fights that and struggles to comprehend and assign meaning. I think the smarter me won this time, by a nose.

Apart from the straight-forward images, I can't find much in this that relates to death or mourning -- it seems a bit more like just a random series of mainly out-of-focus footage (but I suppose that simplistically and vaguely connects to it)
