D.H.P.G. Mon Amour (1989)

Overview

A Super-8, home-style movie which explores the radical advances made by PWA's (People With AIDS), in developing their own health care. Focusing precisely on the ordinary minutiae of David Conover and Joe Walsh's daily life, DHPG Mon Amour shows the struggle for self-determination and control over one's own body and resonates on an intimate and more broadly political level. DHPG Mon Amour was featured at the 1990 New Directors Series at the Museum of Modern Art and The Semaine de la Critique at the Cannes Film Festival. The film has been exhibited at festivals, museums and theaters throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe, is in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library. DHPG Mon Amour was recently incorporated into the Oscar-nominated documentary How to Survive a Plague (2012).
