If the chief distinction between camp and kitsch is the difference between artists who intend to embarrass themselves and those who embarrass themselves unintentionally, then I would have to place Valley of the Dolls into the kitsch category. Some of the performers seem to be aware of themselves as sabotaging the film in which they appear; but most of them appear to think that bad performances are key to the artistic integrity of the movie.

What makes the difference is that in camp presence of elements of artificialness and irony is conscious while the kitch is made with serious intentions.

I was just curious and googled the question.
