Normal Love is an experimental film by legendary queer filmmaker Jack Smith, his first venture into color film. The film was never completed during his lifetime, but there were a number of screenings of it between 1963 and 1965 as a work-in-progress. This photo shows Francis Francine as “Guildid Hag” and David Sachs as “The Mongol”.
