The Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món presents this temporary exhibition about Maya Deren and her works. Defined as a filmmaker, writer, poet, dancer and ethnologist/anthropologist (she travelled to Haiti between 1947 and 1955), Maya Deren is essentially one of the most important avant-garde filmmakers and a key figure in twentieth-century experimental cinema.

This autumn, Eye Filmmuseum spotlights American avant-garde cinema of the 1960s. The exhibition and extensive accompanying programme feature screenings of both iconic and lesser-known films, highlighting the explosion of formal experimentation in artistic filmmaking of the period.

On the occasion of the publication of Maya Deren: Choreographed for Camera (2022; St. Lucy Books) San Francisco Cinematheque and Gray Area welcome Deren biographer Mark Alice Durant who will appear in person to discuss this book and present three films by Deren: Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), At Land (1944) and Ritual in Transfigured Time (1946).
