Episode 25: Lizzie Borden

Aug 3 2020

Lizzie Borden is the director of the influential sci-fi/agitprop cult film BORN IN FLAMES (1983) and Sundance award winner WORKING GIRLS (1986). We showed BORN IN FLAMES as part of Final Girls Berlin Film Festival’s special sci-fi event in 2019 and I decided to reach out to Lizzie Borden during these Corona times and ask if I could interview her for the podcast. Luckily, she agreed! We spoke about her background, her films, what it was like to work with Harvey Weinstein, her current projects, and quite a lot more.

BORN IN FLAMES can be seen on the Criterion Channel and WORKING GIRLS will be restored and released by Criterion in early 2021.
