Tossup

In a film by this director, a character seems to rock back and forth along with the camera while struggling to climb the stairs. A film by this director begins with a character washing up on a beach and slowly pulling herself up on a piece of driftwood. Characters wind scarves with their hands as Anaïs Nin looks on in one of the choreographic films influenced by this director’s time with Katherine (*) Dunham. Alexander (10[1])Hammid shot a film by this director (10[1])in which a character pulls a key out of her mouth that becomes a knife on a jump cut. In that 1943 film, this director sees herself running after a figure in a black cloak who has a mirror for a face. For 10 points, name this creator of experimental short films like Ritual in Transfigured Time and Meshes of the Afternoon. ■END■ (10[1])
