Meshes of the Afternoon

1943 · 14 min · 16mm · Short / Mystery / Fantasy

Time fractures, repeats, and slips out of order in this hypnotic short, where a woman moves through the same moments again and again, each time slightly altered. Long before filmmakers like David Lynch, this film marks cinema’s shift away from linear storytelling toward a more modern language.
