Audience Member Running at only two minutes long, "A Study in Choreography for Camera" boasts editing, ballet, and a mood wholly Deren's and intriguing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Cameras are like women: we depend on them, they are fragile, but they can be docile and loyal if you know how to treat them properly. They bring out the best of us too. A camera is your very soul; it is the third eye that transcends time and space. "There are no rules subject to tangible constraints", Deren seems to be telling us, and plays with us a little. 89/100 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved it. Short, but sweet. The editing is fantastic. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This two-minute short takes an idea from Maya Deren's third movie (this one is her fourth) and uses it again and it looks really good, but I think it's a bit short to really make an impact. On me at least. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member As someone who was quite enamored with the art of the dance, she's really talented at beautifully capturing humans in motion. This was nice while it lasted, but I just think 4 minutes is way too short. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member deren's first "pure" dance movie is a very short study in movement - that remains fascinating in it's brillant use of stylistic devices.
