Sunday Night Film Forums @ JCAS

Cutting-edge filmmaker Maya Deren redefined American experimental film in the 1940s and 50s with her silent shorts that explored human identity and ritual through dreamlike symbols and visuals. She traveled within the burgeoning New York City avant-garde movement, collaborating with several heavy hitters on projects. Hugely influential, Deren was the first filmmaker to win a Guggenheim fellowship and paved the way for future boundary-pushing filmmakers such as Stan Brakhage and David Lynch.

This forum will include three of Deren’s films: At Land (1944), Ritual in Transfigured Time (1946), and her masterpiece, Meshes of the Afternoon (1943).

Sunday, May 16

Last year, the Village Art & Flea drew more than 2,000 locals who shopped an amazing array of arts and crafts made by local artisans and fine artists, as well as fabulous vintage goods and bric-a-brac sold by Village residents. This year promises to be just as big with all the above as well as live music by up-and-coming bands, delectable food from area restaurants, games for kids, raffles, and so much more. This event raises awareness for the VNA and encourages the community to believe in and befriend the people around them. It also raises awareness for local talent while encouraging sales and awareness for area businesses.
