When someone close to you dies, I think the first inclination is to try to fill their absence with something," says Mike Hoolboom of his documentary Mark.
The film is a haunting tribute to the life of Mark Karbusicky, a gentle animal rights activist, political vegan, punk maestro and life partner of transsexual performance artist Mirha-Soleil Ross. Karbusicky took his own life in 2007.
