Genevieve Carmel is from Cambridge, MA. Born in Boston to an American mother and a Haitian father, Gen was raised within a multiracial family who instilled in her an endless curiosity about the world and a deep appreciation for the liberatory possibilities of art, personal expression, and collective action. Gen works as Program Director for the LEF Foundation, which supports peer-reviewed grants, fellowships, and other resources for New England-based nonfiction filmmakers, with an interest in artistic risk-taking and experimentation. Outside of her work at LEF, Gen is a member of AgX, an artist-run film lab and collective with an open membership for Boston-area artists working across video and photochemical film.
