Persistence of Vision Award: Lynne Sachs + Every Contact Leaves a Trace

Wednesday, Apr 29, at 7 PM

In Every Contact Leaves a Trace, a swirl of images and sonic sound accompanies Lynne Sachs’s rumination of memory and assumptions, using as her inspiration a stack of business cards collected over forty years. Join us for the screening accompanied by an in-person conversation between Lynne Sachs and former BAMPFA Film Curator Kathy Geritz. Part of SFFILM at BAMPFA. Learn more→
