Film and Digital Media
Max Oginz is a graduate of Concordia University’s English Literature and Creative Writing program, and was a Marcus graduate fellow in Cinema Studies at San Francisco State University, where he earned his MA. His writing and films interrogate the literary, ecological, and cinematic implications of technologically mediated life.
His current work examines archival and archaeological techniques (i.e. cultural resource management, remote sensing, multispectral imaging, document digitization), and their relationship to societal notions of “ability” - the ability to see, hear, touch, categorize, and remember. His in-progress film, A Proposed Alternative to Ghosts, examines the history and reshaping of The Sonoma Developmental Center, a shuttered state facility for people with disabilities whose 950-acres is slated for redevelopment. His writing has been published in Sleepingfish, Fanzine, Cinemedia, Senses of Cinema, and DiSCo Journal.
