Week #2- Time in Deren's Film "At Land"

One of the interesting things that I found about At Land and a couple other of Maya Deren's films is her use of space. She is constantly moving about different areas and interacting in mysterious ways, often seeing herself in these spaces from a different time. And I think it is these encounters she has with her other selves that give her films somewhat of a comic edge, as it can be entertaining to watch representations of one arguing with themselves.

Too brief! You've made a good start but don't follow through.
