The Living Gods
The Grey Lodge Occult Review is offering a torrent to download the famous documentary film of Haitian Vodou, Maya Deren’s “Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti”.
“Not long after arriving in Haiti Deren decided on extensive documentation of Haitian Voudoun ceremony. Retakes within this material are extremely rare. On the back of Deren’s Bolex was taped “Speed Stop Focus Finder Motor”. These prompts allowed her to safeguard shots that could never be redone as she would “shoot to cut ” to eliminate post-editing and “plan by eye “- prepare a visual shorthand of the pro-filmic event. The traditional use of footage accompanied by expert witness and testimony was rejected for a film with music. Aware of the potential of documentary film to create a fiction through editing, Deren was determined to represent Voudoun rituals with respect to their mythic origin. With this goal, she was successful which not only the footage but “Divine Horsemen” confirms.” – Moira Sullivan, An Anagram of the Ideas of Filmmaker Maya Deren, ? 1997
