“My purpose is to make an experimental motion picture (the physical scope of which is subject to material conditions) in which I will attempt to develop a cinematic art form, originating in the creative potentialities of the movie camera itself, and freed from the influence of other artistic idioms, such as literature, theatre, the plastic and pictorial arts.” – Maya Deren, 1944. Three titles on this DVD: Meshes of the Afternoon, At Land and Ritual of Transfigured Time.
