Putting thoughts into words, images and onto film worth viewing and hearing... and transmitting that message well... is the ultimate art.
Thank-you for sharing these wise words and captivating images...

"Before I was a filmmaker, I was a very poor poet, because I thought in terms of images; what existed as essentially a visual experience in my mind, poetry was an effort to put it into verbal terms. When I got a camera... it was like doing what I always wanted to do, without the need to translate it into a verbal form."
She claimed that her works were "filmpoems"; in fact, she discovered the poetic possibilities of film - images in motion - and "rejected" text as an essential element of the form

Hey, I like this. Maya was a interesting woman. I like the compilation you made. I think you will like the Maya Deren video I did on my page - Meditation On Violence. Peace.



She is a great inspiration to every ( but especially female )artist and film maker.

Thankyou,absolutely beautiful...+I hope it will give inspiration to any female artists out there who are experiencing "self doubt",Again ,like being aware of the passage of time with our natural ebbs+flows...menstruation..pregnancy,childbirth....Women also are subject to doubting their own abilities,esp in the arts.,we are not given a chance very often....my greatist "heroes" in art,are all women :).....thankyou
