Tom Kalin

Born -

Tom Kalin’s work focuses on the portrayal of gay sexuality both in the age of AIDS and historically, as in his acclaimed New Queer Cinema feature Swoon (1992). Informed by his work with two AIDS activist collectives, ACT UP and Gran Fury, Kalin’s video work is characterized by beautifully murky appropriated images and vibrant original portraits and performances. Kalin co-produced the feature films Go Fish (Rose Troché, 1994) and I Shot Andy Warhol (Mary Harron, 1996) and is on the film faculty at Columbia University.
