    Maya Deren’s Sink

    2011 USA Experimental color 28min English Digi Beta
    Maya Deren’s Sink, a tribute to Maya DEREN, the mother of avant-garde American film, evokes her creative spirit through a meditation on the architectural details of her homes. Fragments from DEREN’s films are projected in the spaces where they were originally filmed while a ghosted actor performs a script crafted
    from her writing. This film explores DEREN’s concepts of space, time and form through visits and projections filmed in her LA and NY homes. Light projections in DEREN’s intimate space evoke a former time and space providing entree into the homes of an influential filmmaker we will never know. The film reclaims the spaces that inspired her work in order to share it with audiences. Time and space are collapsed as film locations of the 40’s are re-imagined in the present.
