Synopsis

Using footage from filmmaker Maya Deren’s avant-garde films of the 1940s, including the seminal Meshes of the Afternoon (1942), At Land (1943), and Ritual in Transfigured Time (1948); archival audio interviews and observances from contemporaries such as Stan Brakhage, Amos Vogel, and Jonas Mekas, the documentary provides a glimpse into the mind and life of this groundbreaking and influential artist. —IMDb

Very beautiful documentary that flows gracefully in and out through Maya's works, words and the words of friends.
