#MayaDeren

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

If you have never seen this 14 minute, #experimental silent #film by #MayaDeren, I encourage you to do so. It's strange, hard to explain, #Jungian, and beautiful in it's own way. It's considered one of the most important films in the history of #cinema and, especially, of #ExperimentalFilm. Some might think it's a little rough around the edges, and it is, but the #creativity carries it. Also, it's total budget was only $275. Amazing.
