Frank's Cock
''Frank's Cock'' is a 1993 Canadian short film written and directed by Mike Hoolboom. The eight-minute production stars Callum Keith Rennie as an unnamed narrator who discusses his relationship with his partner, Frank. The two met while the narrator was a teenager and spent nearly ten years together. Frank has since been diagnosed with AIDS, and the narrator fears his death.

Produced by Alex Mackenzie, ''Frank's Cock'' was critically acclaimed and won several awards, including the NFB–John Spotton Award for best Canadia ...
