Being John Smith
27 min
Available until 09/07/2026
An autobiographical reflection on his deeply normal name leads the filmmaker down a wayward path through family photographs, personal archives, and internet searches.
Alternately wry and wistful, peppered with Smith’s characteristically droll commentary, Being John Smith flits between self-deprecation and cris de coeur, offering quietly hilarious observations on Smith’s background and career as a luminary of avant-garde cinema.
