Interview with Lynne Sachs on the films showing in Sheffield Doc/Fest “Directors in Focus” showcase 2020.
“The film is moment after moment of revelation” – Joshua Banman
Sheffield Doc/Fest Director, Cíntia Gil is joined by director, Lynne Sachs to discuss her films and to take questions from the audience for a live Q&A.
A long-overdue retrospective of the feminist artist and filmmaker demonstrates how she explores communication in her work.
“With “Film About a Father Who” we are presented with the fundamental truth that people are complicated creatures who are sometimes impossible to understand fully.”
“the experience isn’t meant to feel seamless, but instead explore the sense of dépaysement, of being out of your own comfort zone, and revelling in that unfamiliarity and curiosity.”
“Albeit set in very different contexts, the films draw attention to the ongoing struggles contemporary women face, and not just in the countries depicted.”
“There is no such thing as unskilled labour—only unseen, or unappreciated.”
