Survival of the Delirious is a fascinating piece from 1988 that blends video art with traditional painting and drawing. The film dives into the chaos and horror of the AIDS epidemic, using the Cree myth of the Windigo as a haunting metaphor for the virus. It has this raw, experimental vibe that really captures the time, almost disorienting in its pacing. The visuals are striking, often unsettling, with a focus on the corporeal and the surreal. Performances, though not traditionally scripted, have an authenticity that resonates with the emotional weight of the subject matter. It's distinctive for its refusal to shy away from the grotesque and the real, making it a unique artifact of a challenging era.
