I’m about to head out to the last in-person screening of Frameline49, but we don’t have to say goodbye just yet. The Digital Screening Room has a very limited selection of the films from the in-person festival. The choices are few, but they chose quite well — most of them I rate “must see.”
Note that Frameline added two streaming-only compilation shorts programs, “Wild Combination” and ”Queer Quartet,” with shorts from various in-person programs.
