Positive Men begins as a docudrama which illustrates the impact of the AIDS epidemic on gay men in the early 1980s. Memories of New York and San Francisco are the backdrop for seven dramatic scenes which designate the intersection of community support, medical science, and gay politics that emerged in response to the AIDS epidemic. Words and images from these scenes resonate throughout the documentary portraits which follow. The interviews, conducted in Toronto and San Francisco (1993-1994), feature artists, filmmakers, AIDS community workers, writers and volunteers who have made unique contributions within the cultural and community responses to AIDS.

Andy Fabo's short video on his diagnosis with AIDS.

A collaboration between a video artist and an artist who works primarily in painting and drawing. This collaboration has produced a mix of narratives which receates the delirium of the AIDS epidemic. The Cree myth of a cannibalistic demon (Windigo) becomes a macabre metaphor for the virus and its psychological affects.
