This piece offers a discussion of the authors film, “Video ‘Remains” from 2005. She speaks to how it functions simultaneously as eulogy, as activism and as art piece. “Video Remains” contains footage of an interview with the authors best friend, James Robert Lamb who was dying of AIDS at the time of filming. Juhasz examines the relationship of video and nostalgia, the intertwining of the personal and the political, and definitions and explorations of the term “queer archive activism” that the author coined.
