If
a close friend of yours suddenly announced they were HIV positive,
how would you react?
What kind of comfort and support could you
offer?
In this video piece produced by The AIDS Poster Project, APP,
images and text are combined to
send a message to the friends of HIV positive people. Life, love
and friendship are explored,
as well as a little eating, cleaning, and
conversation. The importance of friends,
the positives of a smiling face, going through
the trials and traumas,
as well as the joys and triumphs of living with HIV, and most importantly,
being a support for a friend with HIV.
Many of
you will remember the presentation of the slide show *Electric
Blanket*
(A New York Visual AIDS production) at the
Yokohama International AIDS Conference.
In the same way as that piece, *My Friend
Is Positive* does much more than simply inform us
of the presence of this disease. It reaches
out to an audience with honest feelings
that stem from the true life experiences
of the people involved in this production.
"Cafe+", a casual discussion and "ocha" session with
the production team
will be held immediately after the screening.
