Boris Lehman

Boris Lehman was born in Lausanne in 1944, to Polish Jewish parents who had taken refuge in Switzerland during the war. Trained at the Brussels film school, he was a critic and, from 1965, for nearly twenty years, worked in a day centre for the mentally ill, where he used cinema as a tool of care. He assisted Henri Storck and Chantal Akerman, then made several hundred films, on super-8, 16 mm or video, many of them filmed diaries, and took hundreds of thousands of photographs.
