Maybe It’s Fate is pleased to present a screening of filmmaker Lexi Bass’s experimental science fiction film Meander (2024) on Sunday, August 30 at 6:00 PM, followed by a post-screening Q&A with Lexi Bass, filmmaker and Lecturer in Animation and Digital Art at the University of Kentucky, moderated by Lyall Bush, Chair of Film at Kentucky College of Art and Design.

Blending speculative fiction, mythology, and personal essay, Meander explores the uncertain boundaries between humanity, technology, reproduction, and ancestry. Set in a near-future world shaped by artificial intelligence, the film follows Meander, a woman trapped in an underworld where her only chance of escape is to offer her reproductive potential to an experimental facility. Interwoven with this dystopian narrative is Bass’s personal meditation on pregnancy, motherhood, aging, and the loss of her own mother at the threshold of forty.

Drawing from ancient Greek mythology and contemporary anxieties surrounding artificial intelligence, Meander asks what it means to create life, preserve connection, and imagine the future of humanity in a rapidly changing technological landscape.
