Originally produced by Women Make Movies in 2018.
Description
Maria Irene Fornes was one of America's greatest playwrights and most influential teachers, but many know her only as the ex-lover of writer and social critic Susan Sontag. The visionary Cuban-American dramatist constructed astonishing worlds on-stage, writing over 40 plays and winning nine Obie Awards. At the vanguard of the nascent Off-Off Broadway experimental theater movement in NYC, Fornes is often referred to as American theater's "Mother Avant-Garde." When she gradually stops writing due to dementia, an unexpected friendship with filmmaker Michelle Memran reignites her spontaneous creative spirit and triggers a decade-long collaboration that picks up where the pen left off. Official Selection at the **Frameline Film Festival**, **Miami Film Festival**, and **MoMA Doc Fortnight**. Named one of “The Best Movies of 2018” by The New Yorker. Nominated for an **AARP Movies for Grownups Award** for Best Documentary. *“Intimate and exhilarating...Fornes exerts a hypnotic force of stardom, while her offhanded yet urgent remarks resound with life-tested literary authority." - Richard Brody, **The New Yorker***
