Maya Deren

April 29, 1917 – October 13, 1961

She intended for her films to be 'an experience' 

She used editing, multiple exposures, jump cutting, superimposition and slow-motion
Created continued motion through discontinued space, while abandoning the established notions of physical space and time, with the ability to turn her vision into a stream of consciousness

Films have an autobiographical tone to them

Arrived at USA in 1922
