Dont know how I came across this, but it was on my to watch list, so i watched it while eating ravioli. It was delicious (both the film And the ravioli!)

It has a very interesting effect through out and is projected in negative format.

Off wiki:
The function of film, Deren believed, was to create an experience. She combined her expertise in dance and choreography, ethnography, the African spirit religion of Haitian Vodou, symbolist poetry and gestalt psychology (student of Kurt Koffka) in a series of perceptual, black-and-white short films. Using editing, multiple exposures, jump-cutting, superimposition, slow-motion, and other camera techniques to her advantage, Deren abandoned established notions of physical space and time, in carefully planned films with specific conceptual aims.
