Art, AIDS, and New York in the 80s | Wojnarowicz (Full Film) | The Short List

Video Description

The Short List is a film festival for everyone. On the first Thursday of every month, we’re airing a brand new documentary on the VICE YouTube. Tune in this Thursday March 3rd to watch the first film in our series, a fiery and urgent documentary portrait of downtown New York City artist, writer, photographer, and activist David Wojnarowicz. A fiercely political, unapologetically queer artist, David Wojnarowicz was especially critical of mainstream indifference to AIDS, the epidemic that would take his life at age 37. Exclusive access to his breathtaking body of work – including paintings, journals, and films – reveals how Wojnarowicz emptied his life into his art and activism. Rediscovered answering machine tape recordings and intimate recollections from Fran Lebowitz, Gracie Mansion, Peter Hujar, and other friends and family help present a stirring portrait of this fiercely political, unapologetically queer artist. Wojnarowicz: F**k You F*ggot F**ker premieres at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm GMT on March 3rd, followed by an interview with Director Chris McKim.
