Super 7 1/2

· 8 Comments ·

It wasn’t exactly a home movie, it was the film project of a drama student in 1981. We used to shoot our films in Super 8 and they looked like home movies most of the time. I remember I did a stop-motion something, foreshadowing my experiments with minikins, but of so little note that even I don’t remember much about it let alone have a copy.

I do remember more about the project of a fellow student in which I had a minor part. I played the unfaithful girlfriend of a young soldier, discovered in bed with the new conquest. Since we didn’t have sound the situation was conveyed by having a picture of me and the boyfriend on the nightstand prominently displayed. That’s the photo above.

PS: I just realised that I have used this photo before explaining a bit more about the “movie”: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2023/03/19/not-quite-a-slasher-movie/

Symbolism

The orb with cross, the globus cruciger, symbolised Christ’s domination over the world in the hand of a worthy ruler during the Middle Ages. I have no idea whether this particular ruler, a figure in a facade of the Heidelberg Castle that is not completely in ruins, was a particular worthy ruler. In fact I tried to find out who he was because I liked the kitty at his feet but I gave up because there are so many of these figures.
