The continuing political significance of Silverlake Life is brought into clearer focus. Another friend of Tom Joslin and Mark Massi, Elaine Mayes recorded footage of Mark’s decline after Tom’s death, which is where the original version ends. It’s fitting that Mark’s own life, death, and the loss of his lover are here given the sort of attention afforded Tom’s experiences. It reminds us that AIDS is far from over.

An extraordinary video diary about living with AIDS documenting, with guts and humor, the love and dedication of longtime companions Tom Joslin and Mark Massi, from the emotional challenge of living with a fatal illness to the frustration of maintaining daily routines,.
Mientras estaba en Hampshire, Joslin trabajó en una película inspirada en el libro de José Argüelles, The Transformative Vision: Reflexiones sobre la naturaleza y la historia de la expresión humana. Todos los materiales originales, que Joslin llamó Architecture Of Mountains, acabaron en manos de uno de sus antiguos alumnos de Hampshire, Ken Levin.
