Части тела
Tiny Tim
По автобиографической книге Говарда Стерна, популярнейшего радио диск-жокея, снявшегося в картине в роли самого себя. Он добился успеха, благодаря своей шокирующей искренности и вследствие этого невероятной скандальности, так как люди обычно не рассказывают о себе, а подбирают для острот выдуманный персонаж. «Почему вы слушаете его?», — спрашивают людей на улице. — «А интересно, что он скажет дальше». Рассказ об этом непредсказуемом комике — импровизаторе построен режиссером от первого лица и начинается с детства, когда будущей звезде эфира было лет восемь. По жанру фильм, конечно, — комедия, но по сути — это драма, в которой, как и в жизни, есть много грустного и смешного.
Message to Love - The Isle of Wight Festival
Self
In August 1970, 600,000 fans flocked to the Isle of Wight to witness the third and final festival to be held on the island. Besides the music, they also got a look at the greed, cynicism and corruption that would plague the music industry for years to come. They also witnessed the final, drugged out performance of Jimi Hendrix in England just two weeks before he would meet a tragic death. When it all was over, the fans view of rock and roll was never the same.

You Are What You Eat
Self
A montage of the weird, a freak-out film that appeared when the expression was in fashion and in flower, along with the flower people. The film was one of the first exponents of the mobile camera-rock track-optical effect school of filmmaking, and it is much a document as it is a documentary. A repellent and fascinating depiction of the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, along with Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco and the East Village in New York. Tiny Tim amounts to something resembling a recurring motif and narrator.
The Yellow Sequence
A sort of addendum to Smith's second feature, NORMAL LOVE, but which stands on its own as an anarchic ode to (and explosion of) pop culture, featuring none other than Tiny Tim.
Chumlum
Ron Rice's Chumlum is one of those films in which the conditions of its construction are integral to the experience of watching it. It is a record of a cadre of creative people having fun on camera, playing dress-up, dancing, flirting, lazing around.
Normal Love
Gilded Hag
The feature length Normal Love is Jack Smith’s follow up to his now legendary film Flaming Creatures. This vivid, full-color homage to B-movies is a dizzying display of camp that clearly affirms Smith’s role as the driving force behind underground cinema and performance art of the post-war era. The cast includes Mario Montez, Diane de Prima, Tiny Tim, Francis Francine, Beverley Grant and John Vaccaro. Smith was known to constantly re-edit the film, often during screenings as it was still unspooling from the projector.
