Name: Stellar
Genre: Short
Released: 1993-08-11
Duration: 3 min
Rating: 6.4

In less than three minutes, Stan Brakhage hypnotizes and frightens us with a creative interpretation of the space and constellations, no sound, just images that blink on and off, shifting of shape. "Stellar" consists of many of Brakhage's known characteristics of composition, so if you know and like them you'll probably like this movie, if not, there isn't much you can't do about it. The big surprise comes on the very last frame with a strange picture after the repetitive starry like images. Still want to know what was that black and white image which pops and fades away very quickly. Well, here's just another experimentation. 8/10

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
