In the documentary world, authorship is a fraught concept. People who become documentary subjects often find themselves in front of the camera with limited agency to shape the story being told. Anatomy of Wings, a movie born out of the changing dynamics between women who meet for over a decade, charts a course into what other storytelling structures are possible when the boundary between filmmaker and subject are fluid. "At first gathered to create an after-school film project, ten Black middle school girls return each week to collaborate with their Black and white mentors on a feature-length documentary about their own coming-of-age in Baltimore City. Weeks turn into years. Then, shortly before the girls’ high school graduations, a sea of misunderstanding arises about what’s to come. This self-defined ‘second family’ is left to question if their solidarity will survive the realities of living in a world of racial inequity. In Anatomy of Wings both mentees and mentors show up as is and practice seeing and hearing each other without judgment." - The Wings Collective Content Considerations: Discussion of racist attitudes This screening will be followed by a Q&amp;A with filmmakers, Kirsten D'Andrea Hollander, Cami McCrief, Danisha Harris, and Nikiea Redmond moderated by MdFF Artistic Director, Christy LeMaster
