Lynne Sachs is a filmmaker and poet living in Brooklyn. She has produced over 50 films as well as numerous live performances, installations and web projects. Sachs creates cinematic works that defy genre through the use of hybrid forms and cross-disciplinary collaboration, incorporating elements of the essay film, collage, performance, documentary and poetry. Her films explore the intricate relationship between personal observations and broader historical experiences. With each project, Lynne investigates the implicit connection between the body, the camera, and the materiality of film itself. Lynne discovered her love of filmmaking while living and studying in San Francisco. During this time, she produced her early, experimental works on celluloid which took a feminist approach to the creation of images and writing— a commitment which has grounded her body of work ever since. Sachs’s films have screened at MoMA, Wexner Center for the Arts, New York Film Festival, Sundance, Punto de Vista, and DocLisboa. Retrospectives of her work have been presented at MoMI, Ambulante, Sheffield Doc/Fest, BAFICI, Cork, Costa Rica Int’l Film Fest, Cámara Lúcida, and China Women’s Film Festival. In 2021, Edison and Prismatic Ground Film Festivals honored her body of work in the experimental and documentary fields. Tender Buttons Press published Lynne’s book Year by Year Poems (2019) and Punctum Books will publish her book Hand Book: A Manual on Performance, Process and the Labor of Laundry (2025) written by Sachs and playwright Lizzie Olesker.
