About Lynne Sachs
Lynne Sachs' films, videos, installations and web projects explore the intricate relationship between personal observations and broader historical experiences by weaving together poetry, collage, painting, politics and layered sound design. Since 1994, her five essay films have taken her to Vietnam, Bosnia, Israel and Germany -- sites affected by international war--where she tries to work in the space between a community's collective memory and her own subjective perceptions. Strongly committed to a dialogue between cinematic theory and practice, Lynne searches for a rigorous play between image and sound, pushing the visual and aural textures in her work with each and every new project. Lynne's films have screened at the Museum of Modern Art, the Pacific Film Archive, the Sundance Film Festival and recently in a five film retrospective at the Buenos Aires Film Festival. She teaches experimental film and video at New York University and lives in Brooklyn.
