TOM, A STOLEN BIOGRAPHY
Wednesday 18 September 2002, at 7:30pm
London The Photographers’ Gallery

Crystalline glances at the life of notorious gay cineaste Tom Chomont told through a symphony of stolen footage. Chomont recounts his artistic and personal history, shadowed by his battle with AIDS and Parkinson’s Disease, while Hoolboom weaves the visual tapestry. Tom is biography told as if a dream, unconsciously drifting between private and collective experience.

Mike Hoolboom, Tom, 2002, 75 min
