The general framework of the text positions cinema as an essential encounter between art and science. For Maya Deren, the artist's work must commune with culture; the artwork must be ritualistic and reflect myth, hence her rejection of the surrealist \"unconscious\" in favor of a privileged relationship between the artist and civilization and nature. In parallel, Maya Deren compares cinema to other art forms. Based on her cinematic practice, she aims to \"free\" cinema from its constraints, particularly from literature or theater which imprison it in old schemas. Furthermore, she develops for cinema the concept of time form, closer to music or dance than to plastic arts, which are more concerned with spatial arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaya Deren's films and texts are an important source of inspiration for the avant-garde in general, for women filmmakers, and for contemporary feminists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTexts translated from English by Eric Alloi and Julie Beaulieu with the collaboration of Sébastien Côté.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maya Deren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58024683831627,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/3034\/9643\/files\/deren_ecrits_livre.jpg?v=1785774417","url":"https:\/\/re-voir.com\/en\/products\/maya-deren-ecrits-sur-lart-et-le-cinema","provider":"Re:Voir","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
