미국 실험영화의 새로운 흐름을 이룩했다는 평을 얻은 실험영화의 고전. 내러티브 없이 유사한 장면들이 반복, 순환됨으로써 마치 꿈을 재현한 듯한 느낌을 주는 초현실주의 작품이다. 어느 여성이 꿈 속에서 또 다시 꿈을 꾸는 듯한 나선형 구조이며, 떨어지는 열쇠, 빵을 자르는 칼, 전화기, 거울 등의 상징적 오브제가 반복 등장한다. 흔히 정신분석학적으로 해석되기도 하는 이 영화의 목적을 마야 데렌은 ‘신화적인 경험을 창조하기 위함’이라 밝힌 바 있다. 마야 데렌이 여주인공으로서 직접 출연하며, 두 번째 남편인 알렉산더 해미드와 2주 여의 시간 동안 자신들의 집에서 손수 촬영했다. 대표작이라 불리는 이 첫 번째 작품으로 마야 데렌은 감각을 뒤흔드는 미학을 만들어 내며 차별적인 실험적, 독립적인 초기 미국 여성 영화의 근간을 마련하였다.

Investigating autumn, temporal alterations, and their effect on movement

A costume designer is sent to the Catskills for an interactive theatre piece set in the 1920s. When she arrives things seem dark, strange and off. She soon realizes she is part of a student film.

A tilted figure, consisting largely of right angles at the beginning, grows by accretion, with the addition of short straight lines and curves which sprout from the existing design. The figure vanishes and the process begins again with a new pattern, each cycle lasting one or two seconds. The complete figures are drawn in a vaguely Art Deco style and could be said to resemble any number of things, an ear, a harp, panpipes, a grand piano with trombones, and so on, only highly stylized. The tone is playful and hypnotic.

CREMASTER 4 (1994) adheres most closely to the project's biological model. This penultimate episode describes the system's onward rush toward descension despite its resistance to division. The logo for this chapter is the Manx triskelion - three identical armored legs revolving around a central axis. Set on the Isle of Man, the film absorbs the island's folklore ...

Dance becomes a vehicle to show love's different phases. Amor y Asfixia consists of three scenes that seek to dismantle certain social stereotypes linked to the women's body and its role in dance. It's a short film that experiments with the human body to initiate a bigger discussion.

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.

A Japanese fairy tale meets commedia dell'Arte. All in white, the naïf Pierrot lies in a wood. Doo-wop music plays as he rises, stares about, and reaches for the moon. Although music abounds and the children of the wood are there at play, Pierrot is melancholy and alone. Harlequin appears, brimming with confidence and energy. He conjures the lovely Colombina. Pierrot is dazzled. But can the course of true love run smooth? Filmed in France in 1950, it was not completed nor released until 1971

An experimental film comprised of Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING played forwards and backwards at the same time on the same screen, creating bizarre juxtapositions and startling synchronicities

This hand-painted work is easily the most minutely detailed ever given to me to do, for it traces (as best I'm able) the hypnagogic after-effect of psychological cathexis as designed by Freud in his first (and unfinished) book on the subject - "Toward a Scientific Psychology." (SB)

Arthur Lipsett's first film is an avant-garde blend of photography and sound. It looks behind the business-as-usual face we put on life and shows anxieties we want to forget. It is made of dozens of pictures that seem familiar, with fragments of speech heard in passing and, between times, a voice saying, "Very nice, very nice." The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film.
