Catch This: Dog Star Man

Prelude: Dog Star Man, 1961

If you're bored with the blockbusters, consider heading to the Northwest Film Forum for a taste of something a bit out of the ordinary.

As a part of the Third Eye Cinema program, the Northwest Film Forum is showing the film Dog Star Man, a silent abstract film by the legendary Stan Brakhage. The Third Eye Cinema Program is dedicated to featuring experimental film, and who better to include than the man who made more than 350 films in 50 years, each exploring the abstract artistry of film like no else ever has.

Presented in its original 16mm format, Dog Star Man, the breakout film for experimental cinema, takes you on a quest that's more of a mind-trip than Inception could ever give.

Tickets are on sale for the 8 p.m. showing tonight. Worried you won't understand it? Check out what Brakhage had to say.
