Synopsis: In 1998, filmmaker Barbara Hammer had an artist residency in a shack without running water or electricity. While there, she shot film, recorded sounds and kept a journal. In 2018, Barbara began her own process of dying by revisiting her personal archive. She gave all of her images, sounds and writing from the residency to filmmaker Lynne Sachs and invited her to make a film with the material. Through her own filmmaking, Lynne explores Barbara’s experience of solitude. She places text on the screen as a confrontation with a somatic cinema that brings us all together in multiple spaces and times.

Director's Bio: Lynne Sachs embraces both film and poetry in her work as an artist, a feminist, an activist, and a teacher. Through word and image, she explores various subjectivities, various selves and other-selves, opening up a portrayal of being alive during a specific time, in a specific place. Her thirty-five short and feature-length films include hybrid forms, combining memoir with experimental, documentary, and fictional modes. In recent years, she has expanded her practice to include live performance with moving image. In 2019, Tender Buttons Press published her first collection of poetry, "Year by Year Poems." Lynne lives in Brooklyn, New York, with filmmaker Mark Street.
