Winter Series - Discontinued Space: The Cinema of Maya Deren, An Expanded Cinema Event by Dani Kirby & Mat ward with Dylan Banks

Maya Deren (1917 - 1961) is considered one of true pioneers of experimental film yet unlike many of the film makers she influenced (Jean-Luc Godard, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch) her work is rarely experienced outside of academic environments. As part of Kirby and Ward’s continuing investigation into the important (and often overlooked) role of women in the history of Contemporary Art ,  Discontinued Space: The Cinema of Maya Deren will screen several of Deren’s short movies with original live scores written by Kirby, Ward and Banks.
