The Delta • 22m

In this interview, produced by the Criterion Collection in 2026, director Ira Sachs speaks with critic Keith Uhlich about his creative intentions for his first feature, THE DELTA, and about how his earlier shorts—VAUDEVILLE and LADY—shaped that film’s storytelling, mise-en-scène, and approach to character.
