About

This DVD collection presents two of Lynne Sachs' earlier films with several more recent media works – all of which explore themes of women, culture, science & myth. The creative as well as intellectual inner workings of these projects are revealed for the first time in the context of an elaborately conceived, yet accessible disc." BIOGRAPHY OF LILITH updates the creation myth by telling the story of the first woman and for some, the first feminist. In conjunction with the film, the DVD offers a personal introduction to Jewish Kabbala. THE HOUSE OF SCIENCE: A MUSEUM OF FALSE FACTS investigates science and art's representation of women in our society using home movies, collage, found footage and personal rememberances.

“The House of Science is a disturbing discovery and a remarkable exposition demonstrating Sachs’ natural gifts as an autobiographer, a philosopher and a true artist.” - Melbourne Film Festival

“A Biography of Lilith conveys the real experience – bloody and poetic – of Lilith alive and now in every woman. Bravo! A film felt, imagined, and informed by life.” - Barbara Black Koltuv, Author of The Book of Lilith

DVD Featires Include:

  • Over 40 minutes of never-before-seen interviews with four prominent Judaic scholars provide anchors for discussion of the Lilith myth.

  • Six of Sachs’ poems which were written during the making of Biography of Lilith

  • Thirteen collages with text which were part of the making of The House of Science

  • Two Short Films

  • Filmmaker Biography

  • Interactive Menus

  • DVD-ROM: Printable Transcript of The House of Science and Poetry from Biography of Lilith
