Meshes of the Afternoon

1943 · 14 min · Experimental, Horror · Directed by Maya Deren & Alexander Hammid

A flower, a key, a bread knife, a figure with a mirror for a face — and a woman looping through her own home in a dream that keeps forking into more copies of her. The founding text of American avant-garde film, and still the most-imitated fourteen minutes in the form.
