Notes 1984 Part3 (1984)

The Super8 films include some of Huots most impressive filmmaking and some of the most impressive Super8 filmmaking Ive seen anywhere Ironically the handling ease and lower expense of the smaller gauge have resulted in finished films much less personally revealing than the earlier 16mm diaries and much more consciously directed toward audiences for example what sexuality we do see in the recent films is in the nature of performance often Huot and his wife painter Carol Kinne design environments costumes and sound tracks for comic pixilated sexual escapades The Super8 films continue to reveal Huots life but there is no longer the sense of personal investigation evident in Rolls 1971 In its place is Huots pleasure in recording the beautiful and enjoyable elements of his life and sharing them with viewers
