LYNNE SACHS - THE WASHING SOCIETY + HAND BOOK: A MANUAL ON PERFORMANCE, PROCESS, AND THE LABOR OF LAUNDRYCo-presented by Shapeshifters Cinema and the Friends of Canyon Cinema
Admission: $10 (discount for Shapeshifters members; free for Friends of Canyon)
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 (2018, co-directed with Lizzie Olesker) and a new book, Hand Book: 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 Hand Book as well as engage in a discussion about the book, film, and process with Canyon Cinema Executive Director Brett Kashmere.
Friends of Canyon Cinema at the Luminous Associate level and above can retrieve their complimentary copy at the event.
Copies of the book will also be available for purchase and can be signed by the artist.
