Maya Deren, At Land,1944,15min

The move starts with a situation that a girl survives in a land after an accident <~i guess.And then the movie describes what the land looks like and how the girl look at the land.Maya makes use of the editing in the movie.Therefore,we can see the reality of the land view and the imagination of the girl to the land being crossed.

To watch Maya's,we know that Maya likes present his works in il-logic.To the part of the girl's imagination ,Maya plays a lot of illogicalities ,for example,there are shot that the girl suddently has a cat in her hands.Where is  the cat come from  ?The movie does not tell.

In the first part of the movie,it seems that Maya has structured the things.Everything is in order .It starts with a situation and then we can see the reality and the imagination cross over.However ,in the final part,we are not sure whether we are in reality or imagination.There are a lot of girls with the same but in different situation.The action of the camera and the movement of the girl is random and automatic.The editing in the final part is mixing audiences up ! It finally tells us the truth that it is an experimental movie.
