RARE John Chamberlain Movie Poster "The Secret Life of Hernando Cortez"
29.5 H x 38 W inches
No other known copies appear
John Chamberlain is primarily known as a sculptor, but starting in 1968 he made two experimental films.[3] The plot of this film is casual, like many counterculture films of the 1960s, and was essentially about "what to do after arriving in Veracruz".[4] The film has been described in writings as "freeform, " "sexually explicit, " and as "hallucinatory soft porn".[5][6] Chamberlain described an underlying theme of "conquest".[7] Art critic and curator Edward G. Leffingwell helped write the screenplay, [8] and fashion designer Tiger Morse served as the costume designer.[9] It was filmed in color in the Yucatán and has a 58 minutes runtime.[7][10]
The Secret Life of Hernando Cortez was screened in February 1967 at Hunter College, alongside Chamberlain's film Wide Point (1968), also starring Taylor Mead.[11][12] Both films were shown at the 1968 Annual Exhibition, at Whitney Museum of American Art.[13] It was later shown in the context of movie theaters, film festivals and international art exhibitions.[14][15] The Secret Life of Hernando Cortez has a cult following.[16] The film is part of the Chinati Foundation collection.[17] A flyer for the 1967 film screening at Hunter College is part of the collection at the Smithsonian Institution.[11]
