Visiting Hours
Director Mike Hoolboom
Countries Canada
Duration 12 min
Synopsis
Four films rethinking the subjects they invoke. Mike Hoolboom makes two films based on Red Cross archive footage – he proposes a narrative, in Nursing History, and dissects it to the limit, in Visiting Hours. In A Great Noise, Guillaume Mazloum voices words by poets who crossed a century of horror and hope. Tepantar, in turn, quotes Marguerite Duras and Guy Hocquenghem to question identities in a stateless quest.
