Film About a Father Who
Lynne Sachs (Dir), 74 minutes, USA, WNY Premiere
Director Lynne Sachs in attendance.
From 1984 to 2019, filmmaker Lynne Sachs shot 8mm and 16mm film, videotape and digital images of her father, Ira Sachs Sr., a bon vivant and businessman from the mountains of Utah. This intimate, 35-year character study is a meditation on fatherhood and masculinity, and the filmmaker's attempt to understand the web that connects a child to her parent and a sister to her siblings.
