A portrait of David Wojnarowicz’s life and work, this film by Marion Scemama is based on a five hour interview with Wojnarowicz conducted by Sylvère Lotringer in 1989. Scenes of Wojnarowicz speaking are intercut with previously unseen documents from David Wojnarowicz Papers, Fales Library and Special Collections, New York University; P.P.O.W and the Estate of David Wojnarowicz; and Marion Scemama personal archives. The screening will be preceded by a conversation between Marion Scemama, Sylvère Lotringer, and David Breslin about the life and work of David Wojnarowicz.

Runtime: 70 minutes.
