Week 10-Maya Deren





At Land


I've chosen to watch Maya's films because I'm always more interested to female directors. Her films from what i've gathered, are very experimental and freely expressive, shots occasionally reminds me of my childhood dreams. At Land's one of films in particular, stimulated that part of my memory as a child. Cuts that connects one simultaneously to two scenes as the characters move, it's like entering an alter dimension in a lucid dream.


The fact that she puts herself in a sort of observer's perspective is quite interesting.



Meshes of the Afternoon


I see it as a stop motion animation for some reason, At Land also has a stop motion quality to it.

I think that intrigued me about silent films is that you can be so creative with cognizable/ various sound affects and background music, one can easily turn a experimental film to a horror film.


She's probably David Lynch's muse, just saying.
