About the lecturer:
Lynne Sachs is an American poet and experimental filmmaker. For the past four decades, she has been creating cinematic works that resist genre definitions: hybrid forms born from the intersection of various disciplines and incorporating elements of essay, documentary, performance, and collage. She draws on letters, archives, diaries, and music to guide the viewer along a critical journey through reality and memory, exploring the connections between the body, the camera, and the materiality of film itself.
Retrospectives of her work have been held at the Museum of the Moving Image, Sheffield Doc/Fest, Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema, Cork Film Festival, China Women’s Film Festival, Costa Rica International Film Festival, Oberhausen (Germany), and Ambulante Festival of Documentary Film (Mexico). She is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in the Arts.
Her books include Year by Year Poems (Tender Buttons Press) and Hand Book: A Manual on Performance, Process and the Labor of Laundry (punctum books).
