Lizzie Borden

An avant-garde voice in the feminist filmmaking, Lizzie Borden was born in 1958 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. She became particularly active in the independent film scene between the late 70s and early 90s, and her work largely falls within the genres of drama and science fiction, with her most renowned films including "Born in Flames" and "Working Girls". Despite not having won awards at major film festivals, her radical socio-political narratives and unique approach to storytelling have earned her a significant place in the history of independent and feminist cinema. Lizzie Borden, a true maverick, continues to inspire with her unflinching commitment to challenging social norms and championing women's narratives through her work.
