A short film uses four frames simultaneously to explore a gay man's memories of his deceased lover, Frank.
Frank’s Cock is one of Mike Hoolboom’s most powerful short films, combining inventive imagery with a deeply moving portrayal of love and loss during the AIDS crisis. Its deceptively simple visual structure becomes extraordinarily effective, allowing memory, grief and affection to unfold with remarkable emotional clarity.
Set in New York City, the film reunites five Brown University classmates - four gay men and one lesbian - for a weekend filled with secrets, drama, and personal revelations.
