Xenia Matthews is an innovative film and visual artist who creates highly saturated hybrid films that stimulate the senses. Her work focuses on her personal experiences of black womanhood - the joys, the struggles, the misunderstood - externalizing what is often only experienced internally.
Her previous film A Few Things I'm Beginning to Understand just completed its festival run, screening at Indie Memphis, Slamdance, NFFTY, and many others. It is currently streaming on The Metrograph's website. Xenia has just completed a new short, sci-fi and surreal OURIKA!, which premiered at the 2022 Blackstar Film Festival as part of their inaugural Philadelphia Filmmaker Lab. In the future, Xenia seeks to install her films, using physical space to enhance the immersive experience.
