The occasion was an exhibition at the Kinsman-Morrison Gallery of Fields&#8217; paintings, many of which are seen throughout the film, although the low light and poor quality of Super-8 stock doesn&#8217;t do them any favours. Fields and Jarman were both constituents of the mid-70s London art crowd known as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/artanddesign\/2020\/feb\/04\/how-them-glammed-up-boring-britain\" target=\"_blank\">Them<\/a>&#8221; so it&#8217;s no surprise to see other Them faces at the gallery, notably Andrew Logan interviewing all the attendees (the film is silent, unfortunately), and an insistently bare-breasted Nell Campbell, aka Little Nell, either just before or just after her appearance in <em>The Rocky Horror Picture Show<\/em>. This wasn&#8217;t the first or last time that Fields and Campbell had appeared before Jarman&#8217;s roaming lens, they&#8217;re both in an earlier Super-8 short, <em>Ulla&#8217;s Fete<\/em>, and in also <em>Jubilee<\/em>, while Fields may be found reclining in a toga during the opening scene of <em>Sebastiane<\/em>.
