Two Fathers
The child star of BORN TO FILM, Raphael, is now a twenty-seven year old who returns to his fathers farm to plant corn and “experience fatherhood”. Intercut as a film that takes place in the world of Germany in the 1920’s, and Queens, of the 1940’s, as Dr. Ernst Lyon’s remarkable album photographs bring to life worlds long gone. Time is collapsed. “Two Fathers” is a filmic meditation on life, age, family and death.
