Longlisted for the 2018 Toronto Book Awards In October 2012, lovers William Ellis and Jordan Tannahill moved into a former barbershop in Toronto's Kensington Market neighbourhood and turned it into an art space called Videofag. Over the next four years Videofag became a hub for counterculture in the city, playing host to a litany of performances, screenings, parties, exhibitions, and all manner of queer fuckery. But hosting a city in their house took its toll and eventually William and Jordan broke up, closing the space for good in June 2016. The Videofag Book is a chronicle of those four years told through multiple voices and mediums: a personal history by William and Jordan, a love letter by Jon Davies, a communal oral history compiled by Chandler Levack, a play by Greg MacArthur, a poem by Aisha Sasha John, a chronological history of Videofag's programming, and a photo archive curated by William and Jordan in full colour.
