Meshes of the Afternoon

NOTE: For VHS copy see MAYA DEREN -- EXPERIMENTAL FILMS, V-753-1 (annotation includes comments by the director). This first work of Maya Deren began the postwar experimental revival in America. In its imagery and symbolism, its preoccupation with unconscious experience and the indeterminate transition between dream and reality, it was for many years the model for subsequent American avant garde work. Silent, to be shown at 24 frames per second
