Overview:
This film is a series of five little hand-painted and elaborately step-printed sections which are individually titled but so inter-related I've decided they should always be shown in this order together, but each such a distinction of the essentially un-nameable subject matter they variously facet that they should retain the character of individual pieces within their shared context ... a context I've attempted to represent by a small "b" for my name "Brakhage." The five segments (with individual running times) are: Retrospect: The Passover (2:14), Blue/Black Introspection (1:32), Blood Drama (2:29), I am Afraid: And This is my Fear (2:29), Sorrowing (2:14)
