About the Film

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.

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.
