"The coolest film organization in the world." —John Waters
Est. 1961.
Together for the first time, this special DVD collection by filmmaker Lynne Sachs presents two films exploring women, culture, science and myth.
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.
Plus one hour of Special Features: Interviews with Scholars on Lilith and Jewish Mysticism * Collages and poetry * Two Short Films * Filmmaker Biography
