Practical dreamers

Michael Hoolboom

About this book

"What if there were movies made the same way as suits, custom-fitted, each tailored for one person? Not theatres around the world showing the same pictures, but instead a movie just for you, a movie so particular, so peculiar, it could cure night blindness or vertigo?" "Welcome to the world of fringe movies, where artists have been busy putting queer shoulders to the wheels, or bending light to talk about First Nations rights (and making it funny, to boot), or demonstrating how a personality can be taken apart and put together, all during a ten-minute movie which might take years to make. In Practical Dreamers, 28 artists dish about how they get it done and why it matters. The conversations are personal, up close and jargon-free, smart without smarting."--Jacket.
