Lynne Sachs’ latest documentary-essay, premiered at San Francisco 2026, explores Locard’s Exchange Principle through intimate archival excavation. The film traces Sachs’ rediscovery of 600 business cards accumulated since 1990 and the Berlin Wall’s collapse, rekindling her connection with Angela Haardt, a Berlin-based experimental filmmaker and co-founder of the International Forum of the Film Avant-Garde. This meditative cine-essay interrogates memory, artistic lineage, and the material traces of cultural exchange across decades. Sachs, known for previous works including Drift and Bough and The Washing Society, constructs a poignant reflection on how fleeting professional encounters crystallize into meaningful creative relationships. The project situates itself within experimental documentary traditions, privileging essayistic introspection over conventional narrative, while centering women’s roles in European avant-garde film institutions during the Cold War’s final chapter and its aftermath.
