- Summary:
- INVERTED NARRATIVES is part of the retrospective UNSEEN CINEMA that explores long-forgotten American experimental cinema. A Lithuanian-born artist, Boris Deutsch worked as an industry set designer for three years before making "Lullaby", his single foray into filmmaking. Like his painting, it treats a Jewish theme expressionistically, remarkably anticipating the themes and methods of Maya Deren's seminal "Meshes of the Afternoon" (1943), also made in Hollywood. -DAVID JAMES Born in Riga, Boris Deutsch studied painting in Kiev and Berlin before coming to the U.S. in 1916. His studio employment in Hollywood between 1919 and 1922 was his education in filmmaking. His knowledge of Yiddish theater and related Jewish arts is reflected in his paintings and single film, "Lullaby "(1929). -BRUCE POSNER 16mm from 35mm 1.33:1 black and white silent with music 18fps 9:51 minutes.
