Response to "The very eye of the night"

I understand why Pat says Deren "Successfully" brought the avant-garde film to the United States. Even though the film is retro and seems simple it actually subtly complex and interesting. The film has multiple elements of story and visuals that we as VJ's try to portray in our projection designs still today. Not only is the film visually appealing, it contains elements of leitmotif where the dancers and emotions of the piece had their own theme. This film could have be shot and cut in an ordinary fashion but because it twist and turns and has layered video, it enhances the story. I do feel like you're part of the night or one of the stars watching a performance of other stars in space.
