“Its just so unfortunate to not have u0026#39;Maya Darenu0026#39; with us today. Her exemplary direction with perfect length of her movies makes her a legend in short film category.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMeshes of the Afternoon has everything that no one has ever seen before, in terms of abstraction, philosophy, movie making.. everything is just so beautiful.

It seems like she is waiting for her lover or something like that and then she finds her replicas all around her haunting her and finally killing her. It also seems that Mayau0026#39;s other short film u0026#39;At Landu0026#39; is a sequel to u0026#39;Meshes of the Afternoonu0026#39; for she keeps alive the same passion and abstraction and romance in u0026#39;At Landu0026#39;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, its one of the best attempts I have seen.
