Black Maria Film Festival 2010

The Black Maria Film Festival plays in Savannah this friday as part of its 2010 tour. Unlike most film festivals, it tours the country exhibiting a selection of its titles from all over the world. It's crazy stuff too, being it's an experimental film festival.

After Stan Brakhage passed away, Black Maria showed a short collection of his work, which my first introduction to his work. I know this isn't like the stuff we usually cover here, but I wanted to recommend catching the festival if comes through your town.

And if you haven't seen any of Stan Brakhage's work before, check out "Black Ice" below. Like most "art," it's definitely not for everyone.
