Cat's Cradle (film)
''Cat's Cradle'' is an experimental short film by Stan Brakhage, produced in 1959. The film was described by Brakhage as "sexual witchcraft involving two couples and a 'medium' cat."〔(Cat's Cradle ) Canyon Cinema: Film, Accessed 13 February 2011〕〔''By Brakhage: An Anthology, Volume 1,'' DVD menu〕
==Production==
''Cat's Cradle'' was filmed in Princeton, New Jersey.〔MacDonald, Scott (2005) ''A critical cinema: interviews with independent filmmakers,'' p61〕 The film features Stan Brakhage and his wife Jane, as well as composer James Tenney and visual artist Carolee Schneemann.〔Banes, Sally (1993) ''Greenwich Village 1963: avant-garde performance and the effervescent body,'' Duke University Press, p90〕 Schneemann, who appeared in several Brakhage films, wore an apron at Brakhage's insistence.〔"An Interview with Carolee Schneemann," ''Wide Angle,'' 20(1) (1998), p20-49〕 Despite her friendship with Brakhage, she later described the experience as "frightening," remarking that "whenever I collaborated, went into a male friend's film, I always thought I would be able to hold my presence, maintain an authenticity. It was soon gone, lost in their celluloid dominance--a terrifying experience--experiences of true dissolution."〔
The entirely silent film was described by Brakhage as "sexual witchcraft involving two couples and a 'medium' cat."〔〔 The film features shots of the naked bodies that are, according to writer Walter Metz, "edited in such a way that very little narrative sense can be immediately gleaned from them. As the film wears on, however, it becomes clear that the viewer is witnessing some form of domestic conflict and the intimacy that follows (or perhaps precedes) it."〔Metz, Walter (2001) ""What Went Wrong?": The American Avant-Garde Cinema of the 1960s", ''History of the American cinema: 1960-1969. The sixties, Volume 8 ,'' University of California Press, p236〕 The editing style includes very brief "flash-frames" that interrupt longer shots, a technique that Brakhage would continue to use in such films as ''Tortured Dust'' (1984).〔Elder, R. Bruce (1998) ''The films of Stan Brakhage in the American tradition of Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and Charles Olson,'' Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press, p256〕
