DESCRIPTION:Auntie Dote:  Rare flicks by The Cockettes and Jack Smith  Copresented with 
 SF Cinematheque  Come celebrate against the inauguration  with a nostalgic 
 romp through the Nixon era with camp stars from East and West. Come to our 
 AntiAuguration Special Program of films by SF's own original drag 
 collective, The Cockettes, and NY's pioneer queer performance artist Jack 
 Smith.  The Cockettes' "Tricia's Wedding"   33 min. 1971, 16mm color/sound  
 "The world-famous Cockettes enact Tricia Nixon's wedding to Edward Cox on 
 June 11, 1971. Hurtme O. Hurtme, television correspondent, covers the 
 wedding and interviews celebrities in attendance such as Golda Mier, Indira 
 Ghandi, Jacqueline Onassis, Queen Elizabeth, and Elizabeth Taylor. Coretta 
 King sings. During the reception, Eartha Kitt puts LSD in the punch. All 
 hell breaks loose. A hilarious comedy filled with the real-life band of 
 characters who inspired the Cockettes documentary."    Jack Smith's "No 
 President"  45 min. 1968, 16mm, color/sound on CD  NO PRESIDENT was Jack "I 
 was a Male Yvonne De Carlo" Smith's third feature film, after the notorious 
 FLAMING CREATURES and NORMAL LOVE. Originally titled "The Kidnapping of 
 Wendell Willkie by the Love Bandit," it was made in reaction to the 1968 
 presidential campaign.  In this version, restored by filmmaker Jerry 
 Tartaglia, the scenes alternate between elaborate tableaux of Smith's 
 creatures shot at his Green Street loft with campaign footage of former 
 presidential candidate Wendell Willkie, a liberal Republican from Indiana 
 who ran against FDR in the 1940's. The climax of the work appears to be the 
 'auctioning' of the presidential candidate at the convention. NO PRESIDENT 
 features underground stars from 1968, including Tally Brown, Jerry Sims, 
 Irving Rosenthal, Donna Kerness, Mario Montez, and Charles Henri Ford.
