Where Lies the Homo? is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Jean-François Monette and released in 1999.[1]
A film collage, the film is composed of diverse video clips from theatrical films, home videos, cartoons and other found footage, compiled into an essay film about Monette's own journey toward constructing his personal identity as a gay man.[2]
Background
Monette described the film as partially a response to the 1995 documentary film The Celluloid Closet, which he felt had missed some important moments of LGBTQ representation in underground and experimental film.[3]
