Film: MARK October 22, 2009

Award-winning Canadian filmmaker and writer Mike Hoolboom makes his Chicago debut with the premiere of MARK (2009), an elegiac portrait of his friend and collaborator, Mark Karbusicky, who committed suicide in 2007. MARK weaves together childhood snapshots, found footage and interviews with Karbusicky's friends, family and longtime partner, transsecual performance artist Mirha-Soleil Ross, to map the contours of a live lived "in the background" and trace the mark he left on communities around him. Co-presented by the Video Data Bank.
