Divine Horsemen was culled from footage shot in Haiti by the legendary experimental filmmaker Maya Deren, and edited after her death by her husband and collaborator Teiji Ito and his currnt wife Cherel Ito. "(Divine Horsemen) is a film that conveys, perhaps for the first time, the power and beauty of the voodoo rites, free of both the false fantasies of Hollywood and the desensualized distance of ethnographers. It is a picture of voodoo viewed by an artist, as Deren herself was fond of emphasizing, one privileged to conduct a study of emotional and psychological perceptions on a subjective level-a route unavailable to intellectual methodologists. (Deren) witnessed the ceremonies and dances as a full participant, giving her footage an unmediated intimacy that leaves one feeling at times like an interloper."-B Ruby Rich, Reader, Chicago.
