LITTLE STABS AT HAPPINESS

Directed by Ken Jacobs
United States, 1960
Avant-Garde, Short

Synopsis

Featuring Jack Smith. Material was cut in as it came out of the camera, embarrassing moments intact. 100’ rolls timed well with music on old 78s. I was interested in immediacy, a sense of ease, and an art where suffering was acknowledged but not trivialized with dramatics.
