Shot over the course of four years in 1966 to 1970\, Hours for Jerome (1982) is composed of a series of stanzas depicting Dorsky’s daily life in Manhattan and New Jersey’s Lake Owassa alongside his partner\, fellow filmmaker Jerome Hiler (for whom the film is named). Influenced by the work of John Ashbery and the Limbourg brothers\, Dorsky’s films distinguish him as a uniquely visual and emotive director\, marked by images of New England forests\, bustling scenes of the city\, and portrayals of light and shadows unlike any seen elsewhere on film. \n\n\n\nNever-digitized\, Hours for Jerome will be screened on 16mm\, providing a special opportunity to see the film. Alongside Hours for Jerome\, Dorsky’s three earliest and rarely-screened films will be played—Ingreen (1964)\, A Fall Trip Home (1964)\, and Summerwind (1965). A complimentary zine containing writings on the films will be available as well.

Now recognized as an aesthetic and historical landmark in the traditions of American avant-garde film and radical queer art practice\, Smith’s film was greeted largely with revulsion by critics and intellectuals when it first screened in New York City. It was championed by a small but influential crowd of underground artists\, and quickly became a major censorship battleground. Attempted screenings lead to police raids\, free speech protests\, and eventually the arrests and convictions of Jonas Mekas\, Ken and Flo Jacobs\, and Jerry Tartaglia on obscenity grounds.  \n\n\n\nA significant influence on Susan Sontag’s essay “Notes On Camp\,” she wrote: “The only thing to be regretted about the close-ups of limp penises and bouncing breasts\, the shots of masturbation and oral sexuality\, in Jack Smith’s Flaming Creatures is that it makes it hard simply to talk about this remarkable and beautiful film\, one has to defend it.” Indeed\, its position as a political and legal symbol threaten to obscure the pleasure and comedy in Smith’s vision. Featuring a cast of Warhol Superstars and other New York underground luminaries\, as well as a score by Tony Conrad\, Flaming Creatures is a whirlwind celebration of perverse sexuality\, gender ambiguity\, and orgiastic violence\, animated by Smith’s playful\, amateur approach and his love for trashy Hollywood B-movies and exotica. Though digital copies of Flaming Creaturescan be found online\, these poor transfers lose much of the film’s dreamlike visual texture\, which is much better appreciated on a proper 16mm print. \n\n\n\nFlaming Creatures will be followed by a 16mm print of Ron Rice’s Chumlum (1963)\, an experimental short film shot during the production of Jack Smith’s unfinished Normal Love\, which was meant to be the follow-up to Flaming Creatures. Both a behind-the-scenes document of Smith and his cast\, and a beguiling work of art in its own right\, Rice makes use of Smith’s tools to notably different ends. \n\n\n\nSpectrum Between is an independent\, nomadic film exhibition group based in Portland. We are dedicated to screening all manner of experimental\, avant-garde\, and underground films in their original analog formats.  URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/flaming-creatures-on-16mm/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Flaming-Creatures-Poster-Instagram-sized.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260518T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260518T210000 DTSTAMP:20260729T024855 CREATED:20260421T041717Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260421T041722Z UID:10002289-1779130800-1779138000@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:The Abomination DESCRIPTION:An old woman coughs up what she believes to be a tumor.
