Boris Lehman

Boris Lehman (born 3 March 1944, Lausanne), is a Belgian author-filmmaker of experimental cinema.

He began making films between 1965 and 1983 when working for Club Antonin Artaud, a readjustment day centre for the mentally ill, using cinema as a therapeutic tool with patients.

He has assisted Henri Storck with the films Secret Forest of Africa and Fêtes de Belgique, and Chantal Akerman with Jeanne Dielman.

Initially working with amateurs, he has produced 400 films in Super 8, 16 mm or video, as either shorts, features, documentaries, journals or autobiographies, and has shot 300,000 photographs.

Lehman's cinematic work has little public recognition but has been shown at numerous festivals and cine clubs.
