Meshes of the Afternoon

Meshes of the Afternoon

Dir. Maya Deren 1943 ·14 min

Mystery Fantasy
Time fractures, repeats, and slips out of order in this hypnotic short, where a woman moves through the same moments again and again, each time slightly altered. Long before filmmakers like David Lynch, this film understood how memory, identity, and reality can blur into something dreamlike and unsettling. Often cited as a turning point, Meshes of the Afternoon marks cinema’s shift away from linear storytelling toward a more modern language, one that filmmakers are still exploring today.

The Odyssey

BEFORE Very excited for There Will be Blood (35mm) and The Odyssey (70mm). Christopher Nolan is much better than Paul Thomas Anderson — excluding TWBB and The Master — even with cheesy dialogue and music. PTA’s two epics are better, but he’s very inconsistent. I will be curious to see if I prefer 35mm or 70mm. The cinematography in TWBB and TM are spectacular. Blessed with unlimited money, both directors too often and robustly cast ensembles Nolan likes making movies about white men going home to restore the nuclear family. PTA not so much. Different childhoods? Nolan is maybe more of a rule-follower. But then I think about his early movies. He’s both more creative and rule-following than PTA perhaps. PTA goes off the rails. Magnolia was cool. Right now, I can’t wait for the Hollywood screening of The Odyssey, based on my love of Inception minus Joseph Gordon Levitt. Odysseus speaks English, right? AFTER Christopher Nolan and Paul Thomas Anderson, PART II They were born one month apart. Like the empty protagonist, Christopher Nolan has lost his way. Can’t even make Imax to 70mm look phenomenal. It’s an AI film, like one battle after another, even if they didn’t use AI, but did they? If one hasn’t seen the odyssey, one probably shouldn’t waste more money. They already wasted $400 million, though, economically, of course, it’s not waste One would be better served to read the original (in English, not a super recent version) and watch Lord of the Rings or Elysium. Telemachus will be king, civilization will heal, and dawn will break. The law of Zeus 🫡 Must be careful with adaptations and sever one’s love of the source material. PTA did this with There Will Be Blood, but not with the Pynchon movies. Glad I went and it didn’t drag at all in three hours, which is cool, and there were a few cool visuals that didn’t last so long, though I did leave for 15 minutes. Reminded me of the third Batman. If someone gave me $25(0) million, I would make a good movie. But I’m over white dudes with too much money. Terrible performances, casting, script top to bottom. Grossed $700 million and counting. Reminds me of One Battle After Another, a phrase that well summarizes Nolan’s flick

The best films grow by word of mouth. Hand-picked films Real showtimes Real audiences

TimeSink is a cinema built on the belief that great films spread from person to person. Each showcase, we select a limited slate of films and put them on at real showtimes, with an audience gathered around every screening. Beyond the showcase, special events and series bring premieres, live programs, and nights with filmmakers. The audience completes the work.

The Showcase

Four films. Four theaters. Always in motion.

Each showcase brings together a tight selection of films, running continuously across their own theater rooms. Drop in when the lights are down, catch the next showing during intermission, and stay for the conversation around each film.

  • Films loop throughout the showcase, with short intermissions between showings
  • Premieres, repertory picks, retrospectives, midnight cinema, and guest-curated rooms
  • Every film is selected with care, and each showcase is only here for a limited time

Every screening has its own theater room: a shared space with live chat, a visible audience, and reactions landing on the same frame you're watching.

  • The room stays open after the credits
  • See who else is there, from wherever they are
  • Reactions and moments that remain part of the film's life on TimeSink

The Live Event

Every event tells a different story.

Some nights end with a filmmaker. Others become conversations. Some turn into workshops. No two events are the same.

  • Live programs built around a film, a filmmaker, a theme, or a moment
  • Screenings that turn into conversations, craft breakdowns, or live workshops
  • Presented by filmmakers, festivals, guest curators, critics, and members like you
