Synopsis

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 work was considered ‘long lost’ until it resurfaced at The ArQuives. In this experimental documentary, Lesley Loksi Chan combines raw footage from Lloyd Wong with fragments of her research notes, reflecting 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. (LEP)

Director biography

Lesley Loksi Chan

Lesley Loksi Chan is an artist and filmmaker. Her practice is concerned with questions of invisibility, believability and resistibility. Her work asks how material culture and image culture affect the particular ways we think, remember, and live together. Through experimental, handmade and process-based filmmaking, she creates moving-images as mementos. Chan is a daughter of Chinese-Canadian settler immigrants from British Hong Kong and was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada which is situated upon the traditional territories of the Eerie, Neutral, Huron- Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas.
