About a year after [Sheffield Doc/Fest paid tribute to her films](https://hyperallergic.com/575385/lynne-sachs-sheffield-docfest-retrospective/), veteran documentarian Lynne Sachs is now being similarly honored by the Museum of the Moving Image. The program [*Lynne Sachs: Between Thought and Expression*](http://www.movingimage.us/programs/2021/01/13/detail/lynne-sachs-between-thought-and-expression/?ref=hyperallergic.com) collects 30 years of shorts and features from the director, showing off her unusual blending of personal materials with both observational and essayistic film techniques. This includes her latest feature, [*Film About a Father Who*](http://www.movingimage.us/programs/2021/01/15/detail/film-about-a-father-who/?ref=hyperallergic.com), in which she reviews home movies and talks to her family members about their contrasting perspectives on her father, who led a highly colorful life.

Individual program tickets cost $5\. (Tickets for *Film About a Father Who* are $12 — $10 for MoMI members.) An all-series pass (including *Film About a Father Who*) can be purchased for $30 ($24 for members).

**When:** January 13-31  
**Where:** Online
