Ackland Film Forum: Filmmaker Fox Maxy Conversation and “Gush” Screening

Hear from filmmaker Fox Maxy (Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians and Payómkawish) in a conversation at the Varsity Theatre and see Maxy’s film Gush (2023). Maxy is a San Diego-based artist and filmmaker whose work has screened at Sundance, MoMA, and Melbourne International Film Festival among others. Her feature film debut Gush, which premiered last year at Sundance Film Festival, is an embodied rumination of both male and female power, healing and haunting, all within an apocalyptic world. A transformation that courses through unknown terror to untamed collective joy.

This screening and discussion is co-organized by the Ackland Film Forum and UNC Film Studies Program and made possible by a Spark the Arts grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

UNC-Chapel Hill Students can receive CLE Credit for this event. Look for the QR code sign at the screening!
