A portrait that falls somewhere between a painting and a poem, a look at a woman’s daily routines and thoughts via an exploration of her as a “character”. By interweaving history and fiction, the film is also a tribute to a real woman - Emma Goldman.

Optically printed images of a man and a woman fragmented by a film frame that is divided into four distinct sections. An experiment in form/content relationships that are peculiar to the medium.

Offering a new feminized film form, this piece explores art and science’s representation of women, combining home movies, remembrances, staged scenes and found footage into a visual and aural collage. A girl’s difficult coming-of-age rituals are recast into a potent web for affirmation and growth.

Against the uncertain and anxious pandemic atmosphere, inside domestic space, a ‘girl’ arranges and rearranges a collection of small and mysterious things. As the words build in tension, the scene becomes occult, ritualistic, and alchemical.

A collaboration exploring the resonances and ruptures between image and language. By entering Moira Sweeney’s poem about female ancestors with her own body, images of women and oceans, Lynne searches for a visual connection with the intimacy alluded to in Moira’s text.&nbsp;

Poetry watches film. Film reads poetry. Paolo Javier’s text is a catalyst for digital sculpting of an 8mm Kodachrome canvas. Syntactical ruptures and the celebration of nouns illuminate twenty-five years of Lynne's rediscovered film journeys.

Lynne Sachs films her daughter Maya at 6, 16 and 24. At each iteration, Maya runs around her mother, in a circle – clockwise – as if propelling herself in the same direction as time, forward.
