Maya Deren was at the forefront of a movement that revolutionised cinema by using portable 16mm equipment to reinvent film as an artistic medium that could be the vision of an individual working alone. The filmmakers associated with the New American Cinema invented radical new approaches to photography, soundtracks and editing to create works that remain vital a half-century later.
