To complement the inclusion of Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon (1943-59) in Klaus Weber’s Already there!, Deren expert Elinor Cleghorn will introduce a selection of her short Surrealist films. Cleghorn has programmed the BFI’s commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Deren’s death.
During the event we will be screening the 16mm versions of Deren’s:
- At Land
- Witch's Cradle
- Ritual in Transfigured Time
- Outtakes from 'A Study in Choreography for Camera'
