About
A fishing wharf serves as the runway for a sexy, male fashion show, and childhood fantasies are brought to life in this nostalgic and surreal video about growing up gay in a small Newfoundland town. Auto Biography is a world where lesbian mothers dote over their gay sons and old men reminisce about long-ago boyfriends. In Day's humourous inversion of societal values (shot clandestinely in his parent's house), memory is colourfully reconstructed, and dinner dates and pyjama parties take on a whole new meaning.
