Maya Deren
Maya Deren is a female avant garde filmmaker from the 40's and 50's. I don't like some of her work but there is one in particular that i found quite cutting edge for its time. "At Land" is a very creative surrealist film, perhaps a bit too out there for some, but I love how it was edited and shot. The dynamic camera, and the quick editing is quite ahead of its time. But more importantly it mazximizes the beauty of film - Editing.

totally crazy for that time period. pretty neat that some people were doing that then.
i liked how the women playing chess at the end each had hair color that matched their respective pieces (blonde/white, dark hair/black). i'm glad the girl found the lost chess piece; it made her happy.
