a.k.a. The New American Cinema Group. Est. 1961.
The largest archive and distributor of independent and avant-garde films in the world.
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
