Maya Deren's Meshes in the Afternoon

Maya Deren's Meshes in the Afternoon was one of my first tastes of experimental film making, and I've got to say, it's pretty sweet. Meshes included some really nice imagery: I especially liked the movement up the outside stairs and the all of the shots of women sitting beside an image of herself. I found it really surprising that there was such sophistication with the camera movements, considering the time period in which it was made. These movements would be just as impressive if done today, which I think arguably says something about how this film will stand the test of time.
