… the minds of men and women are affected by the social impact of technical inventions […] the souls of people are moved by communication systems — unconsciously in the technical sense. […] Film, like any other art form, is not an expression of man “but a form which creates” emotions and creates experiences “out of the very nature of the instrument.”
— Ute Holl, Moving the Dancers’ Souls, from Maya Deren and the American Avant-Garde
