Fades and Close-Ups 1978

Directed by Robert Huot

…was shot in black and white Super 8mm and is accompanied by a soundtrack of drumming and deep breathing. The camera fades in and out on a symmetrical series of lovely, grainy close-ups of the naked, apparently sleeping forms of a male and a female (Huot himself and Carol Kinne). The film is closely related to, and would be especially interesting screened with Willard Maas’ Geography of the Body, Tara Iimura’s Love, and Yoko Ono’s Fly.
