Description
"Maya Deren's cinema frees us from the studios: it presents to our eyes physical facts that contain a deep psychological meaning; it rhythms in our hearts, or upon our hearts, a time that alternates, continues, turns, strikes or takes flight… We escape the stupidity of simulacrum. We are in the reality of the cinematic fact, seized by Maya Deren at that point where the lens cooperates as a prodigious discoverer."
— Le Corbusier
"She is the mother of us all."
