No President

olitical filmmaker and pageant master Jack Smith’s final feature, —created and variously incarnated while Richard Nixon took office and the ’60s came to a close (and left, like all of his films after 1963’s , intentionally unfinished)—is a masque of race and death. White faces, black flesh, an enormous tusk, a bug-eyed succubus, holes in the plaster, (reconstituted by filmmaker Jerry Tartaglia) is on Vimeo. Hail to the grief.
