F Is For... Flaming Creatures (1963)

Dir. Jack Smith

The only issue, posting this link up, is that the films of the late Jack Smith are not in availability outside of rare screenings. I'm only lucky to see his most famous film thanks to it being legally streamed on UBU.com, but even if the original film was intentionally murky, its probably a VHS rip. From my small bit of knowledge, Smith was known for re-editing and modifying his cinematic creations, which would make collecting the official versions together on DVD difficult, but it would be great to see a full length version, in a good print, of Normal Love (1963) which is only a fragment on UBU.com as well. One wishes the right person was reading this and could click their fingers to make it magically happen.
