“After a purported bike accident, the nameless amnesiac undertakes audio-visual therapy by producing a series of one-minute shots through the streets of Toronto. The result is an episodic love letter set against the city’s intimacies and haunts, populated by old and new acquaintances, while the disembodied voiceover weighs in on gender, animal, and the end of literary culture. Beginning from the position of the body in fugue, Incident Reports traces the most intimate of daily life changes through chronicling a back beat of the city’s endless transformation.” Amy Fung, Images Festival

“For an exploration of Toronto itself, check out Mike Hoolboom’s Incident Reports which marries a series of fixed shots of Toronto life – each around a minute in length – to a philosophical voice-over. The result is an evocative portrait of an individual disconnected from his community and seeking a way back in – which Hoolboom provides in an utterly unexpected (and delightful) way.” Norman Wilner, NOW Magazine

Running in the Muddy Twilight, Pasolini
Yet the passerby looking on
without the innocence of need
sought, as a stranger, communion there,
at least in the joy of passing and looking.
