Opis

John David Rhodes' illuminating study of Maya Deren's mesmerising shortMeshes of the Afternoon (1943) places the film in the context of European modernism and as a pivotal text for the pre- and post-War history of the cinematic avant garde. Rhodes also explores the film's use of point of view, repetition and visual symobolism.
