Screenings of "We Were Here"

"We Were Here" documents the coming of what was called the "Gay Plague" in the early 1980s. It illuminates the profound personal and community issues raised by the AIDS epidemic as well as the broad political and social upheavals it unleashed.
It offers a cathartic validation for the generation that suffered through, and responded to, the onset of AIDS.

Film Screening: Untitled by Jim Hodges, Carlos Marques da Cruz, and Encke King, 2010 - 7:00pm


Untitled presents a non-linear montage of archival and pop footage to conjure up the passionate activism sparked by the early years of the AIDS crisis. Unspooling at multiple levels, the narrative flies between scenes of tragic brutality and kitschy humor, arch clips of laughter and ironic surprises while shredding traditional chronology. CAMH Director Bill Arning will introduce this 2010 video created by artist Jim Hodges and filmmakers Carlos Marques da Cruz and Encke King, which is being screened in conjunction with Donald Moffett: The Extravagant Vein. Structurally, Untitled melds together video, film, and music from more than 45 sources including archival activist footage, mainstream network news broadcasts, artists’ documentation, and popular TV and film. By juxtaposing fractious scenes from the last few turbulent decades, Untitled presents a powerful and provocative reflection on an era when political protest and personal existence converged.
