This is followed by a screening of Fox Maxy’s Maat (2020).
Fox Maxy is a filmmaker known for her kaleidoscopic and thrilling films. Maxy’s films push the genre of horror and documentary, creating deeply personal and biographical reflections on survival, joy, and pleasure. Her 2022–2024 VLC Borderlands Fellowship project is a film about portals and mental health. Maxy’s belief is that anyone and everyone can be a filmmaker. Wrapping up her 2022–2024 VLC Borderlands Fellowship, Maxy hosted a filmmaking workshop inspired by releasing heaviness through storytelling and mental wellness.
Bringing this workshop to New York City, where her feature film will be set, Maxy invited participants to learn and create a short film with her over the course of several weeks. The workshop began with introductory meetings hosted on Zoom, where participants created storyboards for their short-films. Participants met in person to film together late in the evening across New York City, with the city’s after hours as the backdrop. More information on the workshops is available here.
A full list of participants will be announced shortly.
This workshop is organized as part of Fox Maxy’s 2022–2024 Borderlands Fellowship, a joint initiative between the Vera List Center for Art and Politics and the Center for Imagination in the Borderlands. The program is organized by Camila Palomino, Curatorial Assistant at the Vera List Center and co-hosted with Relative Arts and UnionDocs. It is co-sponsored by the Center for Imagination in the Borderlands at Arizona State University and Terra Foundation for American Art.
