Guts & Glitz

Fox Maxy’s Guts & Glitz is a vibrant, experimental exploration of trauma and healing, a film that defies easy categorization. It’s a deeply personal work, yet one that resonates with universal themes of resilience and connection. Guts & Glitz, grappling with the aftermath of abuse, navigates a world where the lines between the physical and spiritual blur. The film’s visual poetry is striking, weaving together intimate portraits of human relationships with the raw beauty of the natural world, all drawn from over a decade of Maxy’s personal archive. The film pulsates with a raw energy, capturing the messy, often contradictory nature of the human experience. It’s a bold, uncompromising debut, marking Maxy as a vital new voice in Indigenous Cinema.Fox Maxy is an artist and director who melds fantasy and internet culture.
