Meshes of the Afternoon

1943 · Maya Deren, Alexandr Hackenschmied

A young woman returns home, falls asleep in a chair and enters a dream that keeps repeating itself. In a loop of recurring objects, a key, a knife, a flower, and a hooded figure with a mirror for a face, she meets multiple versions of herself in a short experimental film with no dialogue.
