Looking at You Looking at Me

Max Bowens is a filmmaker, editor, and scholar, whose work centers on dynamics of vision and power in the United States. By focusing on the affective dimensions of propaganda, scientific visualizations, and carceral media, his films examine the value of images in our post-truth era. Looking at You Looking at Me was made with support from Harvard’s Sensory Ethnography Lab, where he is currently completing his PhD. Max has worked as an editor for Terrence Malick, Zia Anger, Amiel Courtin-Wilson, Courtney Stephens, Michael Almereyda, and Diana Peralta, among others. His writing has been published in venues such as Third Text, Media+Environment, Film-Philosophy, and Éditions Mimésis.
