Maya Derens Sink (2011)

Maya Derens Sink a 30 minute experimental film is an evocative tribute to the mother of avantgarde American film The film calls forth the spirit of one who was larger than life as recounted by those who knew her Teiji Itos family Carolee Schneemann and Judith Malvina float through the homes recalling in tiny bits and pieces words of Derens architectural and personal interior space Clips from Maya Derens films are projected back into the spaces where they were originally filmed appearing on the floorboard furniture and in the bowl of her former sink Fluid light projections of intimate space provide an elusive agency for a filmmaker most of us will never know as film with its imaginary nature evokes a former time and space
