Film Description:
"In the early 1990s, Lloyd Wong began to make a work based on his experiences living with AIDS in Toronto, but he died from AIDS-related illnesses before completing it. For three decades, his work-in-progress was considered 'long-lost' until it resurfaced at The ArQuives. In this experimental documentary, Lesley Loksi Chan combines Lloyd Wong's footage with fragments of her research notes to reflect on what it means to inherit images from queer communities and to attempt to understand someone through multiple takes. Rough and unprocessed, this film explores the meaning of incompletion. This video was produced for Viral Interventions. 2022. Viral Interventions is a three-year York University research project and residency (funded by Canada's Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council), with cohorts of artists and activists coming together every month to workshop stories, trade ideas and create new urgent videos about living with HIV today."
