Martina Kudlacek has fashioned not only a fascinating portrait of
avant-garde filmmaker Maya Deren, but manages to place her importance
in the diverse canon of American film history. Interweaving archival
footage with Deren’s own excerpted work, interviews with Stan
Brakhage, Jonas Mekas and dance pioneer Katherine Dunham, “In
the Mirror of Maya Deren” also features a score by composer
John Zorn. Perhaps best-known for her 1943 psycho-drama “Meshes
of the Afternoon,” Deren’s interest in film and choreography
climaxed with “At Land" and "Ritual in Transfigured
Time.”
