Lot in Sodom
- 1933 ----- b & w ----- 27 min ----- 16mm
- Melville Webber and J. S. Watson, Jr., collaborated on this film in the relative isolation of Rochester, New York, at the end of the 20's and beginning of the 30's. It represents one of the first attempts at transplanting the European avant-garde cinema to America. Clearly influenced by German Expressionism in its use of stark and geometrical decor and its pointed, often hyperbolical psychological confrontations, the filmmakers favored the multiple superimposition of the same image, echoing across the screen.
