Title: 
Stan Brakhage on Jean Cocteau and Kenneth Anger #27
Description: 
Stan Brakhage gives his thoughts on barber small talk and Eurocentric thinking and how this relates to appreciating Jean Cocteau's work. He plays 'Testament of Orpheus' and analyzes it. Brakhage discusses the music in 'Testament of Orpheus,' which leads to a discussion about music and Stravinsky. Brakhage then tells how films are unreliable testimony in court and recalls a personal story about being a witness for the trial of Dennis Banks. Brakhage notes how Cocteau and Anger use masks in their films. Brakhage describes Anger's personal beliefs and his filmmaking process. Brakhage then analyzes 'Lucifer Rising.'
