Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid's Meshes in the Afternoon (1943)

These are classic, influential surrealist films (originally silent, so if you didn't bring headphones, no worries).
As you watch the film, consider the questions below, and then post your responses on your blog:

• What story or narrative do you think the filmmakers are trying to impart? Is there more than one story?
• 
  
• In Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid's Meshes in the Afternoon (1943) I feel like the fist scene where the lady gets the flower, walks around the house and then asleep in the chair. Then it happens all over again and again. Each time it gets more crazy. It is like dream in within a dream within another dream. The camera starts moving side to side. Like the world is being turned upside down.  I believe there is a story in a story.
• Describe a couple of the symbols / motifs used -- what do you think they mean?
• How do the filmmakers communicate the passage of time (briefly describe a specific scene and the strategies used)? the scene in the stairwell when the move the camera to the side to side and the jmp cuts to her moving around the stairwell. Taking about the passage of time.
