Un falso despertar
Una mujer (interpretada por la propia Maya Deren) explora sus propias imágenes interiores, a través de un sueño, donde los objetos ordinarios de su vida diaria consiguen un misterio sobrecogedor. Deren (1917-1961) explicó que quería "plasmar en la película la sensación que experimenta un ser humano sobre un incidente, más que grabar el incidente con precisión". Codirigido con su marido, el director de fotografía Alexander Hammid, "Meshes of the Afternoon", a través de sus múltiples lecturas y reinterpretaciones, pronto se erigió como uno de los films experimentales más importantes de todos los tiempos, y convirtió a Maya Deren en la voz preeminente del "avant-garde cinema" de los Estados Unidos en los años 40 y 50, influyendo en directores como Jean Cocteau, Luis Buñuel o David Lynch. El film lo adquirió el MoMA -The Museum of Modern Art- de Nueva York.

The Dante Quartet
A visual representation, in four parts, of one man's internalization of "The Divine Comedy." Hell is a series of multicolored brush strokes against a white background; the speed of the changing images varies. "Hell Spit Flexion," or springing out of Hell, is on smaller film stock, taking the center of the frame. Montages of color move rapidly with a star and the edge of a lighted moon briefly visible. Purgation is back to full frame; blurs of color occasionally slow down then freeze. From time to time, an image, such as a window or a face, is distinguishable for a moment. In "existence is song," colors swirl then flash in and out of view. Behind the vivid colors are momentary glimpses of volcanic activity.
