Within the programming of
Dart Festival 2021| Duration: | 1 hour 45 minutes |
A moving reflection on the all-too-short life of David Wojnarowicz, one of the leading artists and activists of the AIDS crisis, the film invites us to consider not only what but whom we have lost.
Wojnarowicz: Fuck You Faggot Fucker, by Chris McKim. United States, 2020. 105'. Madrid premiere
As New York became the epicentre of the AIDS crisis, the art of David Wojnarowicz got angrier and franker, and his powerful way of viewing the world had an incredible impact on the struggle for gay rights. In this collage-like exploration of his life, Chris McKim skilfully blends the artist's paintings, photos, films, messages and recorded conversations with memories of his family and friends.
