We are very pleased to announce that we are co-presenting a live discussion with filmmaker Lynne Sachs, her brother Ira Sachs Jr. (Little Men, Love Is Strange), and filmmaker Kirsten Johnson (Dick Johnson Is Dead, Cameraperson) on January 19, 7pm ET.
On this show, we are joined by the experimental filmmaker, feminist and poet Lynne Sachs whose new autobiographical film, “Film About a Father Who” – 26 years in the making – will premiere on January 15 as part of a 20-film retrospective, “Lynne Sachs: Between Thought and Expression,” presented by The Museum of the Moving Image.
Throughout, Lynne Sachs undercuts the image of the past as simpler or more stable than the present.
“Film About a Father Who” is an emotionally wrenching scrutiny of another person, much less a parent.
Lynne is a legend, and her style and abilities are at the top of the list in terms of Documentarians and their storytelling styles, but this one is so different.
The Hoboken Museum & the Thomas Edison Black Maria Film Festival is pleased to host this special installment of “Meet the Filmmakers,” a lively pre-recorded discussion with Festival Director Jane Steuerwald and artist, feminist, activist, filmmaker, Lynne Sachs.

” I share this list as an acknowledgment to those filmmakers and artists, whose work has given me experiences of wonder, questioning, learning, thinking, of encountering in the distance.” – Ivonne Sheen
