For those who haven't seen it, here's Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon: [1]
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a version of this film with the original Teiji Ito soundtrack, so the one I linked to has a soundtrack by another artist, which I don't find to be as good as the Ito version, but it's better than watching the film without any soundtrack at all.
Also regretable is that I haven't seen many films that seem to be influenced by Maya Deren. The closest are probably some of the films of David Lynch (such as Mulholland Dr), which also show a fascination with dreams and dream symbolism.
I would have loved to hear Lynch speak on Maya Deren, if he could somehow be persuaded to give a straight answer without veering off on a tangent like Transcendental Meditation.
