Maya Deren was a dancer, writer, activist, filmmaker, and the “mother of the underground film.” MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON, the seminal avant garde short that she co-directed with her husband, explores the unconsciousness and what she called “the inner realities of the individual.” We follow a woman through a surreal, ominous dream that is beautiful, strange, and disembodied. Knives, keys, figures clad in black veils, and contorted bodies come together with askew camera angles to imbue a sense of beauty…

“Do you think the school’s cursed?” That’s one of many questions asked by Min-ah as she attempts to unravel the mystery of a scrapbook diary that was left behind by Hyo-shin—a girl with a camcorder who took a tragic path.

It’s also the first shot-on-video horror film to be blown up to 35mm and released theatrically. We’re ecstatic to bring the 35mm theatrical cut to home video for the first…
