Cinematography
Shot in NYC in 1984 and commissioned as a portrait of the Dutch expatriate artist Anton van Dalen, The View From Avenue A is also and more interestingly and profoundly, a portrait of another disappearing place, in this case, the dying (or revivifying, depending on your point of view) lower east side of Nest York. Deutsch brilliantly charts a history of a lost place, here not just a physical land- scape, but a landscape of the mind, that is, the artistic "bohemia" of the 60's and 70'e, changing soon to be completely gone, crushed, inexorably, by history." —Steven Simmons

Director
The first of Robert Polidori's completed moving-image works – which was presented at the Jewish Museum in a Film-Makers’ Cinematheque program on May 27, 1970 – was 18 Traffic Light Changes/Durations (1970), a film that shows the clear influence of Michael Snow, as well as an affinity with the contemporaneous work of Ernie Gehr and other structuralist filmmakers.
