From November 12, 2023, through August 4, 2024, the Academy Museum is hosting _Shifting Perspectives: Vertical Cinema_.
The exhibition reorients standard perceptions of making and watching movies. Located in and inspired by the museum’s double-height Hurd Gallery, Shifting Perspectives offers a unique vertical cinema viewing experience and honors the spirit of experimentation in cinema. The exhibition debuts three works by Southern Californian filmmakers and features a partnership with Ghetto Film School.
In this filmmaker profile, Fox Maxy discusses her film Dusty Tapes­­ (2023), touching on generational lessons, friction versus flow, and the layers underneath Los Angeles.
Shifting Perspectives: Vertical Cinema was initiated by Jessica Niebel and organized by a curatorial collective including Andrew Acedo, Sarin Cemcem, Esme Douglas, Jessica Niebel, Marty Preciado, Agnes Stauber, and Stephanie Sykes.
