A lecture and screenings by filmmaker Lynne Sachs (New York) in the context of the show 'May This Time Be Different' from Martha Rosler, for which a free public reference library with feminist content was created.
How do we use photography of images that contain the human body? What experiential, political or aesthetic contingencies do we contribute both to the realization and visualization of a cinema that contains the human form? If a body is different from ours, in terms of gender, skin color or age, do we frame it differently? How does it make us feel to look at a body on the screen?
In this lecture, Lynne Sachs will guide the audience through her own evolution as a filmmaker by screening excerpts from her films, hence, exploring the ongoing challenge of looking at the human form from behind the lens.
