Susan in Europe: 1/2 Double X
Identifier
F.2011-01-0252
Date Of Production
1976
Abstract
Documentation of a trip to Europe taken by JoAnn Elam's sister Susan and her friend Laura Black in the summer of 1976. The pair used a camera loaned by JoAnn to film their adventures, and in this footage, they start their trip in Montreux, Switzerland, to visit the Jazz Festival. After walking around the city, they spend time on the beach, and the footage is double-exposed with abstract images of building silhouettes, similar to those at the start of "Susan in Europe: Laura Python, 1/2 Black" (F.2011-01-0248). The second half of the film is mostly black with occasional light leaks, likely the result of a camera malfunction.
