super 8 film 1: square bashing


Stephen Harrop, 1982, Colour, 10 mins, Synopsis: "I'm in charge here, me"......and immediately the film becomes a series of statements and events without any determinate origin leaving nowhere for authority to stake it's claim. The film empowers itself to explore the sensibilities of prohibited intercourse. By ignoring the conventions of linearity, subjectivity, narrativity, the lost insignificant moments of all films can be casually reunited to produce unauthorised effects of passion and comic transgression. (Australian Super 8 Films 1981-1986, 1989)
