Join us for an evening of intrepid, experiential, pre-proto-prae-diegentically filmic videoation with two pieces by film-maker & poet Lynne Sachs:
A Biography of Lilith (35 min.) In a lively mix of off-beat narrative, collage and memoir, the film updates the creation myth by telling the story of the first woman and for some, the first feminist.
The House of Science: a museum of false facts (30 min.) Sachs uses visual and aural collage techniques to combine the theoretical issues of feminism with memories of discovering her body as a young girl. By looking at home movies and found footage, the filmmaker explores science and art's representation of women. (Film-makers Co-op)
Lynne Sachs is an American experimental filmmaker and poet based in Brooklyn, New York.
