 What's Underground About Marshmallows   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
As Vawter tells it, "A lot of people say that Jack only had about twelve ideas, but that they were the most important 12 ideas of the last 25 years.
Vawter reconstructed Smith's MARSHMALLOWS from the only surviving element – an audio recording that Penny Arcade inherited from Jack and loaned to Vawter.
The rest is built from Ron’s memory of many nights in Smith’s loft, watching Jack's sometimes raving, broken and paranoid, all-night performance-of-the-self, in routines built as fl, camp comedies of what he knew to be the confounded condition of queer.

From one of the seminal theatrical events of the 90's - Ron Vawter's stunning performance piece ROY COHN/JACK SMITH - Jill Godmilow has crafted a dramatically deft, comic and terrifying film diptych of queer-on-queer.
Vawter, who accepts and produces both men in his own voice and body, also died of AIDS, six months after the film was shot.
Both dead of AIDS, Cohn at 59 in 1986 and Smith at 57 in 1989, these two personas are resurrected in a performance by Vawter in a contrast of stance - political and moral, ideological and cultural - using tones of voice, gestures, looks and words that shed light on their abysmal differences.

Her feminist/modernist "fiction" Waiting For The Moon, about the lives of the famous literary couple, Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein, won 1st prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 1987 and enjoyed extensive theatrical and video distribution.
In 1995, she completed the feature film, Roy Cohn/Jack Smith - a cinematic translation of performance artist Ron Vawter's extraordinary solo theater piece about two infamous queers - the closeted back-room politician, Roy Cohn, and the flamboyantly gay underground filmmaker/performance artist, Jack Smith, both of whom died of AIDS in the late 1980's.
Her 1998 film, the provocative What Farocki Taught, contains an exact replica of the German filmmaker Harun Farocki's 1969, fl & white film Inextinguishable Fire - about the production of Napalm, the abuses of human labor, and about documentary filmmaking - sets a challenge to the left liberal documentary to re-think its strategies.
