Journeys In Film<p>Happy Birthday, Maya Deren! Born on this day in 1917, the celebrated Ukrainian-born American experimental filmmaker was an important part of the avant-garde in the 1940s and 1950s. Her short film "Meshes of the Afternoon" is considered one of the most influential works in American experimental cinema. She was also a choreographer, dancer, film theorist, poet, lecturer, writer, and photographer. 1/2</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/MayaDeren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MayaDeren</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/MeshesOfTheAfternoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MeshesOfTheAfternoon</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/BOTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BOTD</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/FilmHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FilmHistory</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/WomenInFilm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomenInFilm</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/film" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>film</span></a></span></p>
