Ritual in Transfigured Time (Short 1946). 15m | Not Rated

“Ritual in Transfigured Time is like a dream, meaning that the various sequences donu0026#39;t seem to have any connection to each other unless you try to approach this film in a different way and not as a conventional hollywood movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe main character in the film is Rita Christiani who after a strange scene with Maya Deren herself who disappears startling Rita, appears in this ball with ladies and gentlemen dancing. This film has one of the most beautiful scenes in a Maya Derenu0026#39;s film when Rita Christiani while sheu0026#39;s dancing she appears to float in the air.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnlike most films that were made 50 or more years ago Ritual in Transfigured Time appears to be timeless and a lot of directors who try to do something innovative should get a lesson or 2 from Maya Deren.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was very surprised to find out that the famous writer Anais Nin is in this movie as well (I was also very pleasantly surprised when I found out that avant garde composer John Cage was in another film by Maya Deren, u0026quot;At Darku0026quot;).”
