About
Note: Sound on CD. Smith's third feature film was originally titled "The Kidnapping of Wendell Willkie by the Love Bandit," in reaction to the 1968 Presidential Campaign. Willkie was a liberal Republican who ran against FDR in the 1940's. It mixes B&W footage of Smith's creatures with old campaign footage of Willkie. The climax of the work appears to be the "auctioning" of the presidential candidate at the convention. Brand new distribution print courtesy of Gladstone Gallery.

Counter-Culture / Counter-Cinema: "Flaming Creatures" and "No President"
Two groundbreaking films by Jack Smith
The fifth installment of “Counter-Culture / Counter-Cinema” focuses on the work of Jack Smith, whose polymorphously perverse performances and ignominious transgressions of social, political, and institutional decorum made him both a pioneer and a pariah in avant-garde artistic circles.
