Directed by Jem Cohen • 2009 • United States
Starring Anne Truitt
Jem Cohen’s portrait of sculptor Anne Truitt features an interview with the artist and footage shot in and around her studios at the Yaddo artist colony and in Washington D. C. Rather than an attempt to depict the art itself, which is in many respects unphotographable, the film’s core is Truitt speaking about her work.
