Deren was also a choreographer, dancer, film theorist, poet, lecturer, writer, and photographer. The function of film, Deren believed, was to create an experience.

Using editing, multiple exposures, jump- cutting, superimposition, slow- motion, and other camera techniques to her advantage, Deren abandoned established notions of physical space and time, in carefully planned films with specific conceptual aims. " Meshes of the Afternoon"( 1943), her collaboration with Alexander Hammid, has been one of the most influential experimental films in American cinema history.
