Anyone know who edited this film?


Deren, Hammid, both of them, someone else entirely? IMDb doesn't give editing credits for most of her films, but she is credited on 'The Very Eye of Night'. The editing is about half the film in my opinion, for 'At Land' and 'Ritual in Transfigured Time' as well. Pure genius whoever it was.

What was it? A piece of paper crawling with germs, couldn't buy anything I wanted.

I think they edited it together, Hammid doing the physical task of film editing, while Deren instructing him on how she envisioned it. Deren was happy to get along with Hammid because he knew about film techniques, how to shoot with a camera, how to edit a film, angles and shots, etc. etc. Deren envisioned the themes, plots, etc. of the film while Hammid did the technical stuff. It was a good pairing.

Hi there, I am interested in promoting Maya Deren materials for educational purpose, and I would like to know if possible which company holds the distribution rights for her filmography.
Can anyone help me?
