“In film, Maya Deren was an important influence, both artistically and practically, on a younger generation. Her films of the Forties and Fifties investigated ritual, myth, dream, and autobiography, in a form that P.Adam calls the trance film. While she later attacked both Surrealism and psychoanalysis, Deren’s attempts to proect mental processes cinematically are clearly rooted here”.
