Brakhage, Stan
1933-2003
Also known as Robert Sanders and James Stanley Brakhage
American film maker
Brakhage was born Robert Sanders in Kansas City and adopted at two weeks old by Ludwig and Clara Brakhage. He started college at Dartmouth, but dropped out in his first year to make films. His almost 380 films were avant-garde and experimental but highly influential in the film world. He also taught film history at the University of Colorado. His death from bladder cancer was partly due to the coal-tar dyes used in his films. advertisement
He married twice and had seven children.
