Mike Hoolboom: Imitations of Life May 2, 2009

Toronto-based independent filmmaker Mike Hoolboom's 'Imitations of Life' integrates images drawn from mainstream cinema, newsreels and science fiction films. Sequences of deconstructed and recombined scenes, variously haunting and playful, hypnotically cast the cumulative affect of film as a force shaping our subconscious images in relation to the stream of history and the trajectory of humanity.
