My New Friends
Tsai Ming-Liang, Taiwan, 1995,VHS, 56 minutes
Shot for Taiwanese television, My New Friends documents the lives of two men living with HIV. Director Tsai
Ming-liang befriended the two gentleman and promised them anonymity.
The interviews are strikingly candid, covering many of the diverse
aspects of life with HIV. Too formally interesting to be mere
case studies -- each of the two sequences have lovely visual codas
-- to be mere case studies, this work is just as documentarily
rich. Marked by the care of the filmmaker and the candor of the
subjects, My New Friends allows voices to men society would deny.
This event will take
place at 7pm at the Lao Family Center, 320 University Avenue in St. Paul.
Admission is free.
