Maya Deren
A Study in Choreography for Camera (1945) (with Talley Beatty)
"The movement of the dancer creates a geography that never was. With the turn of the foot, he makes neighbors of distant places. Being a film ritual, it is achieved not in spatial terms alone, but in terms of a Time created by the camera." -- Maya Deren
