'Ritual In Transfigured Time' silently follows Rita Christiani’s perspective as she enters an apartment to find Maya Deren immersed in the ritual of unwinding wool from a loom. Deren includes another expression of the external invading the internal with a strange wind that surrounds and entrances her as she becomes transported by the ritual. 'Ritual in Transfigured Time' links the looming ritual with the ritual of the social greeting. The film’s continuity is established by an emphasis on gesture and/or dance throughout.
This film is not available to book through Cinenova. It is now represented by LUX (UK), Anthology Film Archives (USA) and The Film-makers' Cooperative (USA).
