Description

March 9–11 Toronto FUSE magazine planned the showing of "Less Medium, More Message," an exhibit of recent community-based video documentaries. One of the videos was a British production, Nothing Personal, about the lives of six gay men. When the Ontario Censor Board threatened legal action if the videos were publicly exhibited, the magazine took the board to court to determine what constituted a public showing. The event was postponed; later, rather than be bogged down in court, FUSE decided to show the films at a private exhibition, by invitation only.
