Show notes

This week, we got to dive into two very different short films! We tackled "Meshes of the Afternoon", Maya Deren's innovative and dreamlike exploration at the front of American avant garde cinema, and we looked at "Bottle Rocket", which was expanded on in Wes Anderson's feature debut. Both films offer a lot of interesting ideas in very different ways! Together, it's less than half an hour of footage, so join us as we dive into the world of short films!
