Deemed "Fellini and Bergman wrapped in one gloriously possessed body," Maya Deren is arguably the most important and innovative avent-garde filmmaker in the history of American cinema. Using locations from the Hollywood hills to Haiti in the 1940s and '50s, Deren made such mesmerizing films as AT LAND, RITUAL IN TRANSFIGURED TIME, and her masterpiece, MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON, which won a prestigious international experimental filmmaking prize at the 1947 Cannes Film Festival.

Special Features:
- Two rare Maya Deren film "fragments": Witch's Cradle (1943), outtakes from a lost work starring Marcel Duchamp; and Ensemble for Somnambulists (1951), an unpublished choreographic work
- Stan Brakhage's hand-painted film Water for Maya (2000), a tribute to Deren that he is seen creating during In the Mirror
