Angelo Madsen (he/him) (previously known as Madsen Minax 2005–2024) is a multi-disciplinary artist, filmmaker, and educator. His projects consider how human relationships are woven through personal and collective histories, cultures, and kinships, with specific attention to subcultural experience, phenomenology, and the politics of desire. 

Angelo’s works have shown at festivals around the world including the Berlinale, Sundance, TIFF, New York Film Festival, and Tribeca as well as at De La Warr Pavilion, Museum of the Moving Image, REDCAT, Anthology Film Archives, and BFI. In 2023, the Video Data Bank acquired 20 of his films to create a compilation of early works (2002-2008) called Chicago Sex Change. Other works are available streaming via The New York Times Op-Docs, Mubi, and Criterion.

Angelo was a United States Artists Fellow (2023) and a Guggenheim Fellow (2022), and has participated in residencies at Yaddo, MacDowell, Pioneer Works, Headlands, the Core Program at the Museum of Fine Arts, and others. His 2021 film North By Current aired on POV and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award; it won the Cinema Eye Honors Spotlight award, the IDA Best Writing award, and numerous festival jury prizes. A New York Times Critics Pick, North By Current has been called “a beautiful, complex wonder of a film” by Rolling Stone and “a titanic work” by Criterion. Angelo is currently an Associate Professor of Time-Based Media at the University of Vermont. 

Madsen's CEA project is A Body to Live In.
