E-PIS-TO-LAR-Y: LETTER TO JEAN VIGO

by Lynne SACHS
2021 / 16mm & 35mm & Mobile phone / b&w / sound / 1S / 5' 00




In a cinema letter to French director Jean Vigo, Lynne Sachs ponders the delicate resonances of his 1933 classic ZERO FOR CONDUITE in which a group of school boys wages an anarchist rebellion against their authoritarian teachers. Thinking about the January 6, 2021 assault on the United States Capitol by thousands of right-wing activists, Sachs wonders how innocent play or calculated protest can turn so quickly into chaos and violence.
