Artist in Person Presented with support from the Theresa Hak Kyung Cha Endowment. In these two films, I blend experimental and documentary language in order to find a personal mode of cinematic expression. By including voices of people of all ages and backgrounds in the soundtracks, I ask my audience to engage, if only for a moment, with the thoughts and histories of perfect strangers. In Sermons and Sacred Pictures (29 mins, Color/B&W), a portrait of an African American minister from Memphis who made films in the 1930s and '40s, I listened to eleven people as they explored their almost-forgotten pool of memories of this remarkable man. By talking quite specifically about his life, they were able to articulate even broader impressions of their own lives during the period of segregation in the South. For The House of Science: a museum of false facts (30 mins, Color), I spoke with women and young girls who talked about the impact that science and art had on their conceptions of their bodies. I heard the rhythm and the tone of these modest memories: a visit to the gynecologist, a hygiene lesson, a viewing of a Rubens painting. With composer John Baker's assistance, I manipulated found-sound, whispers and breaths, to create an intricate aural collage. A diary in which I reflected on the possibilities and the limitations of my own body became the skeletal framework for the film. -Lynne Sachs Plus: Drawn and Quartered (1987, 4 mins, Silent, Color) and excerpt from a work-in-progress (8 mins).
