About Mike Hoolboom

  • Michael "Mike" Hoolboom (born 1 January 1959) is a Canadian independent, experimental filmmaker.
  • Having begun filmmaking at an early age, Hoolboom released his first major work, a "film that's not quite a film" entitled White Museum, in 1986.
  • Although he continued to produce films, his rate of production improved drastically after he was diagnosed with HIV in 1988 or 1989; this gave a "new urgency" to his works.
  • Since then he has made dozens of films, two of which have won Best Short Film at the Toronto International Film Festival.
  • His films have also featured in more than 200 film festivals worldwide.
