Quousque eadem? (or a self-portrait)

This work started as a personal project. The artist initially intended to create a one-man home video only for himself, hoping to gather snippets from his life abroad to represent them as vital parts of his life and temporary definitions, forming a time capsule created to commemorate his graduation. A few months later, the artist restarted this unfinished project and changed his intention during editing. By remaking this essay film using several (pseudo-) video diaries and two different mediums—digital recording and digitized Super 8mm footage, the artist translates private, intimate whisperings into his reflections about memory, viewing, film, and the process of image (re-) production.

For over 40 years Val Kilmer, one of Hollywood’s most mercurial and/or misunderstood actors has been documenting his own life and craft through film and video. He has amassed thousands of hours of footage, from 16mm home movies made with his brothers, to time spent in iconic roles for blockbuster movies like Top Gun, The Doors, Tombstone, and Batman Forever. This raw, wildly original and unflinching documentary reveals a life lived to extremes and a heart-filled, sometimes hilarious look at what it means to be an artist and a complex man.
