If you look at the final credits, which nobody reads except for insiders, then you are surprised to see how many colleagues you had who took care of all the details. Everyone says, ‘I made the film’ and doesn’t realize that in the case of a success all branches of film making contributed to it. The director, of course, has everything under control. —Robert Siodmak, November 1971 A book on Robert Siodmak needs an introduction. Although he worked ten years in Hollywood, 1941 to 1951, and made 23 movies, many of them widely popular thrillers and crime melo- dramas, which critics today regard as classics of film noir, his name never became etched into the collective consciousness.

  • Marlon Riggs
    Speaking the Self: Cinema of Transgression Flaming Creatures “At once primitive and sophisticated, hilarious and poignant, spontaneous and studied, frenzied and languid, crude and delicate, avant and nostalgic, gritty and fanciful, fresh and faded, innocent and jaded, high and low, raw and cooked, underground and camp, black and white and white on white, composed and decomposed, richly perverse and gloriously impoverished, Flaming Creatures was something new. Had Jack Smith produced nothing other than this amazing artifice, he would still rank among the great visionaries of American film.” [J. Hoberman] Jack Smith: Flaming Creatures, 1963 • Writer, performance artist, actor. Classic “downtown” underground personality. • Smith endorsed a realm of “secret flix” ranging from B-grade horror movies to Maureen O'Hara Spanish Galleon films, from Busby Berkeley musicals to Dorothy Lamour sarong movies. Singled out Universal Pictures' “Queen of Technicolor,” Maria Montez, star of exotic adventure films such as Arabian Nights (1942), Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (1944), and Cobra Woman (1944). • Loose tableau set to scratchy needle-drop music: “polymorphous perverse.” • Banned in New York state, 1964. Vigorous defense by Susan Sontag and others. Outsiders • David Lynch: “John Waters opened up an important space for all of us.” Pink Flamingos • Why has this work come to be celebrated? Midnight Movie shock value or esthetic/cultural importance? • What role does this film play in the lives of its actors? • Film as an esthetic experience vs. film as a liberatory social rallying cry. Compare to punk music. • How does this film address its audience? How might “specific, historical audiences” read this differently? Outsiders “The term camp—normally used as an adjective, even though earliest recorded uses employed it mainly as a verb—refers to the deliberate and sophisticated use of kitsch, mawkish or corny themes and styles in art, clothing or conversation.

I just wanted to say that I am gonna to publish that special dossier on Jack Smith (with J. Hoberman, Jerry Tartaglia, Marc Siegel, David E. James, and others). Next week. I also hope we can do a big special dossier about you, next year, with your cooperation. Best, Toni October 8, 2016 Dear Toni, I super-approve, time for another realization of Jack’s genius. Writing on me next year, most appreciated. My only regret, I would’ve liked to write something regarding Jack. Something without objectivity, personally pissed and in every way off the deep end. I would've written about the cheap shoes we saw for sale placed with others on wooden crates on Second Avenue on the old Lower East Side. No, they weren’t shoes, that was the whole point! They were rubbers, made to imitate shoes, with every detail copied from shoes in relief and standing out or sinking in but all made of rubber -shoelaces! molded of rubber- and big enough to fit Jack. I urged him to buy it, thinking it would amuse him but he shot me down, choosing not to be amused and accusing me of dreadful taste. He was probably pretending he could afford them and was choosing not to, the pretentious bastard.
