A selection of short films exploring the personal and oneiric cinema of Maya Deren. 65 years after her death, we celebrate an artist who redefined the possibilities of the medium and the gaze of women behind — and in front of — the camera, establishing herself as a key figure in American experimental cinema. In Deren’s work, ritual and the occult open onto the realm of dreams: a space where time slows and repeats, the unconscious surfaces, and the everyday reveals its uncanny dimension. Among the selected works is the iconic Meshes of the Afternoon
