Muriels Hall of Fame, Class of 2016: Meshes of the Afternoon (1943, Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid)


"What Deren does with Meshes of the Afternoon is to perceive the violence both self-inflicted and otherwise in one woman's life through ground-breaking filmmaking techniques and attention to objects. Meshes uses a dream sequence of repetition and complex layering to introduce the possibilities of one woman and the difficulties of trying to break through a mirror, or in this case a house." ~ Willow Maclay
