- Notes:
- This film portrait falls somewhere between a painting and a prose poem. Sachs looks at a fictional woman's daily routines and thoughts. By interweaving threads of history and fiction, the film also becomes a tribute to a real woman: Emma Goldman

- Genre:

- Notes:
- A woman observes five undramatic moments in a man's life, as if he were one of Eadweard Muybridge scientific photo experiments. A study in visual obsession and a twist on the notion of the "gaze".

- Year:

- Genre:
- Experimental / Avant Garde, Female Directors
- Notes:
- Lynne and her friend John shot this film with a Regular 8 camera on a roof in San Francisco, literally creating a "drawn and quartered" image. Mostly, they each exist in their own private domains, separated by the barrier of the film frame. Sometimes, however, one person dares to intrude upon the pictorial space of the other.

- Language:

- Genre:
- Experimental / Avant Garde, Female Directors
- Notes:
- A woman drinks tea, washes a window and reads the paper -- simple tasks that suggest a quiet mystery within and beyond the image. She listens to a symphony of crickets, Jangling toys, the roar of a jet, and children trembling at the sound of thunder. Small home-movie boxes within the larger screen become mnemonic devices that expand on the sense of immediacy in her drama.

- Notes:
- In 1974, Marlo Thomas' hip, liberal celebrity gang created a feminist version of the myth of Atalanta for mainstream TV's "Free to Be You and Me". Thirty-two years later, Sachs transforms the age-old story of the beautiful princess in search of the perfect prince into an homage to girl/girl romance. Created as part of the "Free to Be You and Me" Invitational at Ocularis in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

- Notes:
- Sachs collaborated with her daughter Noa, from age five to eight, on this film as they criss-crossed the woods of Brooklyn with costumes and cameras in their hands. Noa's grand finale is her own rendition of the bluegrass classic "Crawdad Song".

- Notes:
- During WWII, the US Army hired Sach's cousin, Dr. Sandor Lenard, to reconstruct the bones--small and large--of dead American Soldiers. This elliptical work, which resonates as an anti-war meditation, is composed of highly abstracted was imagery and home movies of children at a birthday party. The film was created as part of "For Life, Against the War Again", the Film-makers' Cooperative Collection of 25 films of peace. It is also a trailer for a longer film Lynne is making about Lenard's unusual life in Europe and later in remotest Brazil.
