  • Jim Morrison shot this super 8 film of Pam Courson during their 10 day tour of Corsica, France in mid May 1971. Only ever written about in Patricia Butler’s book Angel Dance & Angels Die this film has never been shown publicly until now - Sept 20, 2021.
    “On everyday it rained but one. Pamela said it was idyllic.” This film was shot on that one sunny day.
    Jim may have watched this film on the night of his death as reported by Pam stating that they watched super 8 films on the night he died….if Pams story is accurate.
    We have had the filmed scanned from the original reel at 18 fps and 24 fps. This is the 18 fps version.
    This film has no audio.

    Weeks before this was filmed, Jim and Pam followed our High School Spanish Club on a visit to LA ALHAMBRA-GRANADA,Museum in Spain. It was April 10,1971 True. We didnt figure it out at the time but later realized they were the "two American hippies" listening in on our English version of the Museum Tour. Can read about his visit to that museum on that date in a book about Jim. They were very cool--would nod to us, but kept their distance as they followed us on the Tour. He had a beard at that time, she was beautiful. They were clearly in love with each other. Giggling and holding hands and enjoying that we didnt recognize them.

      Jim Morrison died July 3, 1971. Saw his grave in February 1987, 16 years after his death. The area was covered with graffiti and his marble bust over his grave was askew. I picked it up and straightened it up and the lady in the cemetery saw me and called the Gendarme on me!?!? They jumped out of their car with their MAS bullpup rifles but did nothing.

      And, I know this is an 8mm camera, but in general older glass camera lenses look better. Their imperfect look and chromatic aberrations make the images appear magical, further enhancing her beauty. Or at least not taking from it. In fact, now Alexa are making digital cameras that can accommodate some of those old cinema lenses. Cooke Optics talk about this on their amazing UA-cam channel. While everything Netflix produce now is 4K, most of the lenses used to make their stuff are too pristine and perfect looking making everything look digital.

    Haunting and beautifully sad. Pam dances like a mayfly in the summer sun and Jim's camerawork may indicate his decline and self-destruction. Did he know that the end was near ? To die in Paris like Oscar Wilde. It's sad that they were never buried together. But its spellbinding to have this imperfect footage. The decling icon of rock with his enchanting love in a moment of idyll. They should have been buried together like Elvira Madigan and Sixten Sparre in a Danish churchyard. But they were not destined to grow old together but sailed forth into rock martyrdom. Sleep well Jim and Pam

    They were far from perfect. Fought like cats and dogs. Both were unfaithful to each other. Very tumultuous relationship. But everything I’ve learned says that they did indeed love each other tremendously and she was the only girl he loved. It was LA that made them behave badly. Once they got to Paris, things settled down for them. But by then, the damage to Jim’s body was already done …

    Morrison was an incredible intellect, poet, and rock star (when not too stoned). But he was a lousy cinematographer! Surprising, becausing he took courses in the subject. In his defence, the Super 8 gear that he was oftened photographed was crude compared to today's iPhones or video cams. Pam was gorgeous and idyllic; yet another heroin overdose tragedy at a young age. RIP to both.

      It's a really fascinating piece of film but I agree with you. The first thing that occurred to me was how someone with his UCLA Film education could be so bad with a camera in hand? It's a bit trippy so maybe they were a bit 'refreshed' when they made it. I am reading Angels Dance and Angels die at the moment. Anyone interest is Pam and Jim would love it. There is a lot of detail about their lives together and a lot about the Doors too of course.

Since there is only, so far, proof of 2 films from that time.
      Also, I don’t think Jim wasn’t attempting to shoot his masterpiece. He was just having fun.

One wishes that Jim and Pam could have become healthy and happy and lived a normal and banal but good life but it seems that by the time they got to Paris either or both of them may have been too far down their path of addiction to recover. They're still just kids in this footage (assuming that it is Jim filming) and could have lived for another 60 or more years.

      They probably did know.

    • @ckotcher1
      @ckotcher1 27 днів тому

      No i’m sure Jim knew the end was near. he had such a preoccupation with death. He was never quite comfortable in his own skin. Alcohol really took a toll on him, and his body was already kind of breaking down… it’s no excuse for Pam to be an enabler though. A lot of people don’t know that when they were in Paris together, they actually spend very little time together… she was always out with Marianne Faithfull‘s boyfriend, getting high and hooking up with him. Jim spent a lot of time alone, walking around the streets of Paris. The woman who owned the hotel they were staying in said she really didn’t know they were even a couple because they didn’t spend a lot of time together. At least not at the hotel…But Jim was a big Oscar Wilde fan, and he knew that Oscar Wilde died at the same hotel. I don’t think he saw a big future for himself. It’s almost as if he went to Paris to die, but will never know..

      @ckotcher1 26 днів тому

      @@rknrlgrl6146 Thanks i’ve done my homework. Most documentaries talk about Jim’s life and then Paris is kind of a footnote. Like “then he went to Paris and we never saw him after that” but there is one documentary that cuts to the truth and focuses completely on Paris and what happened there. They interview the hotel staff, Bill Siddons, and the friends Jim made while he was staying there. People love the idea of Pam and Jim the love story but they completely romanticize it without looking at the sad truth: And that is that she was an H addict. I don’t know if Jim thought getting out of LA would change that. if anything I think it might have been Pam’s idea. Look up this name: Count.Jean De Breteiul. He was a French aristocrat, Pamela’s ex-boyfriend and H dealer to the stars. Psm knew he was in Paris with Marianne (and lots of good H).. in this documentary a lot of people who were around them in gym’s last days say that Pam, and always come up to Jim and ask for large sums of money then disappear for hours on end leaving Jim to write or explore. By all accounts she was seeing Jean on the side or maybe even had a three-way thing with Jean and Marianne who knows. But most people believe now that Jim did some of Jean’s H and THAT is what killed him. Pam’s story has always been sketchy and she wanted to keep things under wraps even dodging Bill Siddons phone calls. Nobody besides Bill knew Jim was dead until 2-3 days after his death and some including his own parents didn’t find out until after the funeral which was only 10 minutes long and only 5 mourners including Pam, Bill, the couple they met in Paris but no Priest or family members. Immediately after Jim’s death, Marianne who is the only survivor of this mess and says Jean’s H killed Jim) and Jean would flee Paris and go to Morocco. Jean would Od a couple years later.

    According to members of the doors, Pam and Jim had a love-hate relationship. It was unfortunate Pam was a heroine accidict. She passed just two or three years after jim. Jims fortune went to Pam, and after Pam went to members of Pam's family. The morrison family sued, and the fortune was split between the two families. She still remains a bit of a mystery to me. Definitely rare footage of her..
