Blue Moses (1962)
One of the few Brakhage films featuring spoken dialogue and a central character, this sly and bitter polemic pits an actor (poet? director?) against an unseen audience. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2007.

Interesting facts
Blue Moses is a 1962 American experimental film directed by Stan Brakhage, starring Robert Benson.
Production
Blue Moses originated from discussions between Brakhage and Benson on the role of sound, plot, and the cameraman in film. Its use of sound was atypical for Brakhage, who argued that sound interferes with the image, and it was his only film to use sync sound. He stated that he drew on an experience hiking in the mountains with his wife Jane for the film's story about running footprints.
