Normal Love, dir. Jack Smith, USA 1963, 120 min., 18


Normal Love is a film-meets-performance, defiantly unfinished, constantly in flux, which Smith often editing live during screenings, sometimes pausing for live performance, or slideshows. This edit was made posthumously by Smith’s long-time collaborator Jerry Tartaglia.

Featuring contributions from (among others) Claes Oldenberg and Tony Conrad, Normal Love will be screened on 16mm alongside Yellow Sequence, a short film shot at the same time and often referred to as the ‘coda’ to Normal Love.
