Solar photography is intercut and superimposed with science footage of blood flowing through capillaries, Stan's wife Jane naked, and closeups of Stan's face. The Brakhages are represented as the symbolic man and woman. They are shown making love, with the image of a baby following shortly after. The metaphor of creation is further elaborated by the filmmaker's visible physical scratching and painting on the film. Also in the Prelude, the filmmaker introduces images of the mountain, snow, and trees that he uses in the other four parts of the series. 590 PFA 1612-01-2968. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 3 Oct 1992; faded; pink; scratches; Fair condition: color faded, pink and red; scratches 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 655 7 Personal/independent films.|2mim 690 U.S. films. 700 1 Brakhage, Stan. 700 1 Wodening, Jane,|d1936- 700 1 Brakhage, Myrrena. 935 GLADN50874409 941 0 PFA 1612-01-2968.
