Blonde Cobra

Directed by Ken Jacobs

An experimental short film that blending singing and storytelling, touching on themes such as nations, death, religion, intimacy, and evil.
Blonde Cobra is an unruly experimental short film that refuses conventional structure almost completely. Its fractured form and abrasive performance can be challenging, yet that defiance is central to its fascination. Jack Smith’s chaotic presence gives Ken Jacobs’s film a strange, confrontational energy that feels inseparable from underground film culture.
