Meshes of the Afternoon (1943)

13:54 Free

A dreamlike experimental film that follows a woman trapped in a looping sequence of symbolic events, where ordinary objects take on unsettling meanings. Directed by Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid, the film blurs the boundaries between reality, memory and nightmare through repeated actions and shifting perspectives. With its striking imagery and hypnotic rhythm, Meshes of the Afternoon is a foundational work of avant-garde cinema and one of the most influential experimental films ever made.
