1963

Director: Ken Jacobs
Year: 1959 --63
Synopsis: Featuring Jack Smith. I was interested in immediacy, a sense of ease, and an art where suffering was acknowledged but not trivialized with dramatics. Whimsy was our achievement, as well as breaking out of step. (from Film-Makers' Cooperative)

Director: Jack Smith
Year: 1963
Synopsis: Smith's second feature length film appears to derive from his adoration of Maria Montez, the B- movie star best know for her performance in Cobra Woman. It features a variety of '30s horror film monsters, a mermaid, a lecher, and various cuties. (from Flicker)

Director: Gregory Markopoulos
Year: 1963
