Escape from Rented Island: The Lost Paradise of Jack Smith

2017 · 1 hr 28 mins

In his essay film, Jerry Tartaglia, longtime archivist and restorer of the film estate of queer New York underground, experimental film, and performance legend Jack Smith, deals less with Smith’s life than with his work, analyzing Smith’s aesthetic idiosyncrasies in 21 thematic chapters. It's a film essay about the artist’s work, rather than a documentary about his life. An unmediated vision of Jack Smith, an invitation to join him in his lost paradise.

Director: Jerry Tartaglia

Cast: Jack Smith, Mario Montez, Beverly Grant, Tony Conrad, Agosto Machado
