Having spent much of the eighties making provocative and wonderfully titled Super-8 shorts, Ursula Pürrer and Angela Hans Schierl turned their attentions at the end of the decade to producing a feature. Finally completed in 1991, Flaming Ears is in many ways an extension of these earlier works. The home-made pop (video) aesthetic, the playfulness, the transgressive nature, the punk-lesbian-transgender elements are all in place. Indeed, anyone who delighted to Index's previous Pürrer and Schierl release, a compilation of their shorts entitled Super-8 Girl Games will know exactly what to expect. And yet: how do you transpose the witty, distinctive likes of Zigzagging Rivulet Sneaks Up On Shamelessly Wetting Thighs - near-perfect at only four minutes in length – to an hour-plus duration? What becomes of concept, content and plot?
