On Becoming a Man

Canada · 1975
20m
Director Paul Wong
Starring Paul Wong, Kenneth Fletcher
Genre

On the occasion of his 21st birthday, Paul Wong walks southwest from his mother’s house at St. Catherines St. to the Quebec St. home of Kenneth Fletcher. Most remarkable about this video is not its careful camera work (shot entirely from a moving vehicle), but the driving that allowed for it – a feat that brings to mind the complementary (and collaborative) relationship between the shooter and the driver. On Becoming a Man was also the title of Paul’s 1995 solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
