Directed by Lynne Sachs • Documentary • With Carolee Schneemann, Barbara Hammer, Gunvor Nelson • 2018 • 9 minutes
From 2015 to 2017, Lynne visited with Carolee Schneemann, Barbara Hammer and Gunvor Nelson, three multi-faceted artists who have embraced the moving image throughout their lives. From Carolee’s 18th Century house in the woods of Upstate New York to Barbara’s West Village studio to Gunvor’s childhood village in Sweden, Lynne shoots film with each woman in the place where she finds grounding and spark.
"Sachs has a really well-attuned photographic eye, and she captures the trio in a series of easygoing domestic situations." —Screen Slate
