On The Road
Super 8 '90s
In this week’s piece on Richard Linklater’s Slacker (1990), I mentioned how I saw the film while on a road trip across the States, and how I had been carrying a Super 8 camera on that trip.
This reminded me that I had two rolls of the film sitting in a container on my desk (goodness knows what might have happened to the rest over the last 35 years), so I dug them out, and sent them off to be digitised.
And here they are, lightly edited and with a little Kevin MacLeod background music1. Featuring a a couple of appearances from my friends Ben and Nancy, whose camera it actually was, if I remember correctly.
Just in case you hadn’t watched any footage of San Francisco junk yards or New Orleans aquaria recently.
Here’s the piece on Slacker, if you haven’t seen it yet:
