Masterclass

Lynne Sachs Masterclass – in conversation with Marek Hovorka, Founder & DirectorJi.hlava International Documentary Film Festival  Lynne will explore kinetic movement, rhythm, and deep rupture as editing strategies for conveying different modes of expression – from urgency to joy. We will look at quotidian dance, body language, performing for the camera, protest and violence in the image.

The Sap that Matters Power relations lay at the core of normative representations. In the tuning in with the forces of a life event, one can say that form is attained only to address the formless. Reality in its social and historical dimension is not a material for artistic reflection or political commitment; it is what powerfully draws one to cinema and yet cannot be captured without dissolving itself in its fragile essence when one approaches it without subtlety and vulnerability.With examples excerpted from several of my films the master class will cover the political, ethical, artistic and spiritual dimensions in filmmaking, focusing for example on the politics of form and forces, and of non-binary creative practices and everyday resistance.
