Interesting and a good addition to your library

This is a collection of short experimental films in black and white. If this had been a magazine it would have been a photographer's magazine and these could easily have been artsy type stills.

The experiments are from a time passed. However even today they are powerful images. You will see these images or images like these in many art films of the time.

Even though this is worth watching for historic and art value there are not a lot of places for it in today's world. However, like a coffee table book, Maya Deren can be a great conversation piece when you view other films of that era.
