Tip of My Tongue. 2017. USA. Directed by Lynne Sachs. 80 min.

To mark her 50th birthday, filmmaker Lynne Sachs gathers a group of her contemporaries—all New Yorkers but originally hailing from all corners of the globe—for a weekend of recollection and reflection on the most life-altering personal, local, and international events of the past half- century, creating what Sachs calls “a collective distillation of our times.” Interspersed with poetry and flashes of archival footage, this poignant reverie reveals how far beyond our control life is, and how far we can go despite this.

This film accompanies Doc Fortnight 2017: MoMA’s International Festival of Nonfiction Film and Media.
