(April 29] 1917 – October 13, 1961) She was film maker, photographer, writer. Over the past decade undergoing and ongoing revival.
a stretch, perhaps, although I find her work provides understanding in regards to several single frame photographers.

I saw her Meshes of the Afternoon in a film class in 1973 and have been fascinated ever since!

there are many sources for her writings. searching -- 'maya deren pdf' gets several of them.
youtube has movies and in-depth crits about her work. she is well worth the effort for anyone coming to understanding of photography since 1970
