Reading Lech Majewski’s résumé can give you a headache. A prolific poet and novelist, painter, composer-librettist and director of operas, and director, writer, composer, producer, and cameraman of video and films, the 54-year-old Polish-American has released 11 movies (not including Julian Schnabel’s 1996 “Basquiat,” which he co-wrote and co-produced), from 1978’s “Zwiastowanie” to 2007’s “Glass Lips.” He assembled the latter from a 33-part video installation called “Blood of the Poet,” which made its debut at the 2006 retrospective of his work at the Museum of Modern Art. Mr. Majewski has lived in America since 1981. He works here and in Europe, often financing his own projects.
