Scotch Tape / USA / 1962

Jack Smith’s first film, shot in 1959 on a trash-heap at the future site of Lincoln Center, is of a piece with his later work, featuring various costumed figures cavorting indiscriminately. Nonsensical in the extreme, the film is rather affectionately named after the dirty piece of adhesive that got stuck in the film gate and appears in the lower right-hand corner of the frame.

This film, along with much else, can be seen online at UbuWeb and YouTube.com.
