DESCRIPTION

Mike Hoolboom fonds [graphic materials, printed materials, textual materials, photographic materials, video recordings, sound recordings, data discs, posters]; circa 1966-2016.

Mike Hoolboom (1959-) is a Toronto-based fringe filmmaker specializing in experimental short films and compilations of shorts including “Panic Bodies” (1998) and “Imitations of Life” (2002). He has been a key member of Toronto’s experimental film scene since the 1980’s and co-founded the artist-run Pleasure Dome and a magazine entitled the “Independent Eye”. Much of Hoolboom’s film-making is semi-autobiographical. He documents the struggles of living with HIV and showcases the Toronto fringe community.

Archival materials created by, or relating to the career of Canadian fringe filmmaker, Mike Hoolboom. Includes materials related to “Panic Bodies”, “Imitations of Life”, “Tom” (2002), and others.
