Meshes Of The Afternoon / Fragment Of Seeking |
Even if you aren’t aware that Curtis Harrington was a fan and former unofficial protege of Maya Deren, all you need to do is look at the image above and the many examples below to see her influence on his work (he was also mentored by avant garde legend Kenneth Anger so he was groomed for greatness).
From the editing and sometimes disorienting cinematography to the general theme/idea of the naneless protagonists chasing a mysterioys figure through a house - the works of Deren & Harrington are forever linked.
Even after Harrington moved away from experimental shorts and made slightly more accessible feature films (Night Tide), you can still see Deren’s DNA in his work.
Enjoy…
