Fascination plot

Colin Campbell, a pioneer of video art, made about forty video films, including the classic ultra-low-budget underground work Modern Love (1979). Until his sudden death in 2001, in addition to being a university teacher, he was above all an elegant and fascinating center of Canadian art life. In his intentionally fringe films, he played with a huge variety of mostly sexually ambiguous characters, such as his campy alter ego 'Art Star'. Usually dressed in women's clothes, he addressed the viewer directly with all kinds of confessions. Director Mike Hoolboom gives an introduction to Campbell's work and life as well as a look at the history of the time when Campbell's art came to fruition.
