Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid’s Meshes of the Afternoon(1943)

The great grandaddy (grandma?) of America avant-garde cinema, Meshes of the Afternoon was the first film by Maya Deren, one of the best and most articulate of experimental filmmakers. It’s almost trite to say it at this point, but: The Dream Logic Of Meshes Is A Clear Forerunner Of David Lynch.

Of the film, Deren wrote: “This film is concerned with the interior experiences of an individual. It does not record an event which could be witnessed by other persons. Rather, it reproduces the way in which the subconscious of an individual will develop, interpret and elaborate an apparently simple and casual incident into a critical emotional experience.”
