American avant-garde filmmaker Maya Deren is highly acclaimed as one of the pioneers of film dance. Her final film, The Very Eye of Night, is largely neglected in the dance field, despite Deren's pride in it. Focusing on the fact that Deren reshaped her ideas about film while making The Very Eye of Night, this investigation traces her dialectical thought process, which led to the film's creation. Deren traversed the realms of film, dance, and anthropology while persistently pursuing the concept of depersonalization throughout her career. This pursuit culminated in Deren's final film.
