Brooklyn-based filmmaker Elisabeth Subrin joins Metrograph to present two films that tantalizingly explore the limits of biography, through playful portraits of actress Maria Schneider and the feminist writer Shulamith Firestone.

“Our understanding of a person cannot be singular, but is produced through multiple, shifting interpretations and perceptions. I believe a biographical subject is not temporally or cohesively written, but a collective, cross-historical experience that moves through the bodies of both those who write it, and those who receive it. Maria is a multiplicity. My hope is audiences will travel with her across time, immersing themselves in her shifting inner life as she moves towards self-possession, witnessing her vulnerabilities and strength through different subjectivities and interpretations.”—Elisabeth Subrin
