"Christopher Becks’s Pan of the Landscape uses gorgeous Brakhage-like painting on film to
un-Brakhage-like ends: spectacular skies combine with the slow, mechanical movement of a silhouetted form to produce a biting melancholy, as if Becks is mourning the film’s removal from the world it glimpses."
