NYC-based filmmaker Lynne Sachs joins us for a deep, poetic dive into laundry—an area of focus she has examined over the past decade, through her film The Washing Society (co-directed with Lizzie Olesker) and a new book, Handbook, A Manual on Performance, Process, and the Labor of Laundry, just released by Punctum Books.
Along with a screening of The Washing Society, Lynne will present a performative reading, with Shapeshifters Programming Director Kathleen Quillian, of excerpts from Handbook, A Manual as well as engage in a discussion about the book, film and process with Canyon Cinema director Brett Kashmere.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase and can be signed by the artist after the event.
