Our take

Shunning chronology in favour of a rich, jumbled-up tapestry of different decades and film and video formats, experimental filmmaker Lynne Sach’s latest work paints a three-dimensional portrait of her chameleonic father. The act of making the film becomes key to discovering who he really is.
