  • Star Spangled to Death

    1956–60/2003–04. USA. Directed by Ken Jacobs. A magnificent artifact of artistic and political living in 1950s New York, Star Spangled combines found-footage collage with Jacobs's more-or-less staged filming, featuring Jack Smith as The Spirit Not of Life but of Living and Jerry Sims as Suffering. This social critique of a dumbed-down America, which took a half-century to complete, is constructed with incomparable style and whimsy.

In the Film exhibition Ken Jacobs: Filmmaker Extraordinaire
