Yeah, I’m a ltle gay, and there’s a gay Jam. Fran’s short film adaptatn of Anthony Hecht’s poem is pretty damn gay. Gay Town.

Callg an exhibn “Gay Town” certaly creat a good headle, but we’re not entirely sure what else achiev. Long before Harry Potter was a gay poet (the sential tabloid take on Daniel Radcliffe’s turn as Gsberg), Fran offered his own take “Howl”, a much more tertg film on formal terms at least.
