trees and dreams

Brakhage makes us open our eyes to colors and textures that we don't do right away. The camera and how the iris opens and closes, the light that is exposed on the film itself, if the key ingredient. I just wish it had been a minute longer; not too much so, only in that one could have the sensation of experiencing more of the variations on the bark. It's pretty but I don't understand the God of the Forest part as Brakhage has in his notes on the DVD. If anything I'm reminded of Twin Peaks minus the music - which means it's not as effective as if it had it - and that brings to mind dreams and seeing things in such a way that is meant precisely to not be completely realistic but half- remembered, shaken into the consciousness like if one is slowly waking up or in that half-dream-half-awake state.
