Ensemble for Somnambulists is a 1951American unfinished experimental[1]silentshort. It was written, produced, and directed by Maya Deren. The film was made while Deren was teaching a workshop for the Toronto Film Society.[2][3][4] The cinematography was by Graeme Ferguson and Bruce Parsons. The film stars Frank Ionson, Brian Macdonald, Hannah Winner, Cynthia Barrett and Terry Chapman. Dorothy Burritt and Moira Armour provided production assistance. The film was shot at Sovereign Film Studio in Toronto.
The film was never completed and is officially unpublished,[5] but it has been restored and occasionally screens along with Deren's other films.[6] It is sort of a preliminary sketch for her next film, The Very Eye of Night.[2][3]
