Thank you for making my point.
I have indeed seen the 'unedited' version they were hawking around NYC
last fall as a publicity campaign.
Thus, it is my sole opinion, having seen the work, that the quality of
the 'doc' was miniscule compared with the work of Jack Smith himself.
Such a shame that a man cannot be appreciated fully in his lifetime,
only to be the subject of such efforts to profit after his demise.

(For the record: I am indeed known as a 'video artist' because of the
work I began with in my 20's that came to be exhibited at the Whitney &
PS1/MoMA. However, all my current work is shot on FILM - with the
exception of some guerilla street work where video is the appropriate
'stealth' nighttime acquisition method. I could care less what agents
and curators put up on the web about my work. The only time I took
offense was when The Observer called me an 'Indy filmmaker'. Why should
I be assailed for using various media when the situation demands... ?)

Who here has seen the Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis
documentary?
It seems people are making assertions that it's no good without having
seen it. Bogus.
