Drawn and Quartered (1987)

Lynne Sachs 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. Images of a male form and a female form exist in their own private domains, separated by a barrier. Sometimes, however, one person dares to intrude upon the pictorial space of the other. Only for a moment does the one intrude upon the pictorial space of the other.



This short is a diary in which the filmaker reflected on the possibilities and the limitations of her own body became the skeletal framework for the film.
