film:
books of james
Ho Tam, Canada 2006, 72min
Inspired by a collection of personal notebooks, Books of James is an experimental documentary on ART, AIDS and ACTIVISM. Based on the writing, drawing, video footage and personal revelation of James Wentzy, an artist/activist in New York City, the film illustrates the 30-year timeline from the late 1970s to the present, examining the changes in the social and political landscape of America.
Following James from South Dakota to New York City, the film traces his days from struggling and surviving as an artist to later becoming an AIDS video activist. In showcasing a unique individual through his involvement with the fight against AIDS and his tireless frontline reportage of the crisis, Books of James is an intimate portrait of a neglected everyman/hero and unearths a time now forgotten.

made in secret: the story of the east van porn collective
Canada 2004 86mins main feature + extras
at CCA, 16th November, 7pm, free event
“A thought-provoking and genre-bending look behind the scenes of what might be the world’s only underground DIY anarcho-feminist porn collective. It isn’t fact. It isn’t fiction. It isn’t even the typically Canadian ‘somewhere in between.’ It’s something else altogether. And if we could ask one thing of you as you watch our little movie, it would be that you try to create a new category for it in your mind.”
Makeshift Reclamation: New Feminist Art and Activism
A multimedia event showcasing how contemporary feminists are resisting and creating alternatives to not only gender-based oppression but also a collapsing economic system, climate crisis, and more. Featuring live readings, performances, and video works by artists and activists including Jessica Hoffmann, coeditor/copublisher of the independent, transnational, antiracist feminist magazine make/shift; Hilary Goldberg, whose new project, recLAmation, is a Super 8 experimental documentary/narrative film in which queer superheroes navigate a future beyond capitalism; and others.
