Stan Brakhage

Stan Brakhage (1933-2003) was known as the most important experimental filmmakers of the 20th century. He refered to his films as moving visual thinking due to his lack of a story in them. He usually hand painted the film and scratched images onto the film and also used collage techniques, for example. Mothlight.
My favorite of his films is "black ice" -1994
what i like most about it is that it gives the illusion of moving in space.
