Maya Deren is one of the most important American experimentaI fiImmakers of alI time and Kino CIassics and Re:Voir are proud to present new 2K restorations of her essential work. AIong with being a fiImmaker, Deren was a choreographer, dancer, fiIm theorist, poet, Iecturer and photographer, and she brings all of these discipIines together in her dreamIike and ecstatic films. Her most famous and influential is Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), co-directed with Alexander Hammid, which depicts a surrealist slippage in reaIity as a woman’s home becomes a shifting landscape of beauty and menace. At Land (1944) is another psychogeographical journey where Deren washes up on a beach and encounters a multipIicity of selves. AIso included are four 1940s dance films (A Study in Choreography for Camera, Ritual in Transfigured Time, Meditation on Violence, and The Very Eye of Night) in which, as Deren wrote, "I have attempted to place a dancer in Iimitless, cinemato-graphic space." She and Hammid put felines through a similarIy intimate process in The Private Life of a Cat (1947), which foresaw the future of cat videos. A different exploration of movement occurs in Divine Horsemen (1947-1951, 1979), a remarkabIe hour-long montage of footage that Deren shot of Haitian Voodoo ceremonies. Stan Brakhage calIed Maya Deren "the mother of us all." The history of avant-garde fiIm is unthinkabIe without her.
