À la recherche du lieu de ma naissance
After 44 years filmmaker Boris Lehman returns to Lausanne, where he was born in 1944. His parents, both Polish Jews, sought refuge in the city during the German occupation. Lehman remembers next to nothing of the episode. A film like a time machine.

 

Texts on Sabzian
On the occasion of this release Sabzian, the Belgian online film journal, translated two texts, ‘Why Boris Lehman Makes Fiction Films’ and ‘A Second Century for Cinema. The Films I've Made and Don't Exist’ into English. Sabzian previously published an extensive dossier on Boris Lehman's cinema which is available in Dutch and French.
