For the duration of the 1980s, Brakhage contributed to the Boulder literary magazine \u003ci\u003eRolling Stock\u003c\/i\u003e, mostly publishing reports from the Telluride Film Festival. These reports show that Brakhage was keenly interested in world cinema, anxious to meet and dialogue with filmmakers of many different stripes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book also contains substantial discussion of Brakhage's work in light of the filmmakers he encountered at Telluride and discussed in \u003ci\u003eRolling Stock\u003c\/i\u003e. Long chapters are given over to Soviet filmmakers such as Andrei Tarkovsky, Larissa Shepitko, and Sergei Parajanov, as well as the German filmmaker Hans-Jürgen Syberberg. Brakhage was a keen viewer of these filmmakers and their contemporaries, both at Telluride and in his role as teacher at the University of Colorado, and \u003ci\u003eStan Brakhage and Rolling Stock\u003c\/i\u003e attempts to place his work alongside theirs and thus reclaim him for world cinema. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book's appendices reprint letters Brakhage wrote to Stella Pence (Telluride's co-founder and managing director), as well as summaries of his work for Telluride and a brace of difficult-to-find reviews.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJerry White teaches and writes about cinema, literature, and culture in Quebec, Canada, and Europe.
