Lloyd Wong, Unfinished

Directed by Lesley Loksi Chan2025Canada29 mins

In the early 1990s, Lloyd Wong began to make a work based on his experiences living with AIDS in Toronto, but he died from AIDS-related illnesses before completing it. For three decades, his work-in-progress was considered "long-lost" until it resurfaced at The ArQuives. In this experimental documentary, Lesley Loksi Chan combines Lloyd Wong's footage with fragments of her research notes to reflect on what it means to inherit images from queer communities and to attempt to understand someone through multiple takes. Rough and unprocessed, this film explores the meaning of incompletion. Winner of the Teddy Award and the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at the 2025 Berlinale.
