2024 marks 40 years since experimental filmmaker Lynne Sachs took her first video class at DCTV. In From the Outside In, we traverse Sachs’ documentary films, defiant of traditional genre or style. From peering out, collecting others’ experiences and world events, to looking inward, reflecting on familial histories and entanglements, Sachs weaves the political with the personal. Through this 7 program series of screenings and discussions, with Sachs and collaborators in front of and behind the camera, this retrospective celebrates Sachs' distinctive artistry and groundbreaking career.
Featuring: 24 films; an artist talk and workshop with Lynne Sachs; and daily Q&As with special guests including Sam Green, Tabitha Jackson, Naeem Mohaiemen, Lizzie Olesker, Ira Sachs, and Accra Shepp.
Individual tickets are now on sale, as well as a series pass, which grants access to all screenings and includes a special print monograph with original writing and contributions from Ela Bittencourt, Sadia Shepard, Conor Williams and more.
