Ira Sachs
In 1974, writer Linda Rosenkrantz and photographer Peter Hujar tape-recorded a conversation in her New York apartment. The topic of the afternoon was 24 hours in the life of the famously uncompromising Hujar, regarded as one of the most important characters in downtown New York’s cultural scene of the 1970s and 1980s.
Born in Memphis, Tennessee, USA in 1965. Sachs’ work has already been featured in the Panorama in 2005 with FORTY SHADES OF BLUE, in 2010 with LAST ADDRESS, in 2012 with the Teddy Award-winning KEEP THE LIGHTS ON, in 2014 with LOVE IS STRANGE, in 2016 with LITTLE MEN, and, most recently, in 2023 with PASSAGES. Sachs is the founding director of Queer|Art, an arts organisation which supports queer and trans artists in film, performance, literature and visual arts.
