In 1981, Tom Joslin and Mark Massi moved to Los Angeles. When both were diagnosed with HIV, Tom decided to film their experiences and include them in a new film. Initially conceived as a broad reflection on the historical and cultural factors of the pandemic, on the shadows of Hollywood cast in the Silver Lake neighbourhood, the film was completed by his entourage posthumously. This first retrospective of Tom Joslin in our country seeks to vindicate the work of a pioneering filmmaker, whose filmography raises questions about the past of LGTBIQ+ representation, shared authorship in autobiographical cinema or the historical immediacy of the video diary in times of pandemic. At the same time, this film series is part of a broader work of archive recovery and preservation of his work, an ongoing project initiated by the filmmaker Miguel Rodríguez and which has involved the collaboration of artists such as Gus Van Sant, Peter Friedman, Elaine Mayes and David Macaulay, who knew the filmmaker first-hand.
