| Summary: | The collected shorts of Maya Deren the "Mother of the trance film" who worked completely outside the commercial film industry and made her own inner experience the center of her films. From the early 1940’s until her death in 1961, Maya Deren evoked and exemplified the American avant-garde movement virtually by herself. Her first film, "Meshes of the Afternoon", set the tone for the decade and linked the movement to the older European avant-garde films of Cocteau and Buñuel. |
