IN THE MIRROR OF MAYA DEREN

'Within your mirror, you'll see its dream'



In the Mirror of Maya Deren tells the story of this groundbreaking 1930's avant-garde filmmaker. The films features a great score by John Zorn and interviews with virtually everyone involved with her life who is still living. Documentarian Martina Kudlacek also does something unexpected and takes the viewer back to Haiti to actually interview people that were featured in Deren's film "The Living Gods of Haiti." The conversations with all that knew and worked with Maya are quite illustrative. If you have not had the privilege of seeing Deren's work this film will make you want to seek it out.
