Super 8 Picnic in a Hand collective is a Vilnius based metro group of young artists in general section. Filmmakers and others interested in creating, curating and showing super8, 8 and 16 mm format films in native Lithuania and around globe. System founded in 2008 as an independent artist’s research group on analog film possibilities, the collective soon became Super 8 Picnic in a Hand. In 2009 we change our open politic into closed 12 persons. The collective became sure and opened the deficit “Tree LAB” – an analog and experimental film lab, searching for connections with young active analog filmmakers around Europe. Motto: make a break do a break.

I’m a filmmaker and tutor at The Glasgow School of Art where I run special Super 8 Film and Animation Workshops throughout the year. Despite starting the workshops barely a year ago they’ve proved to be extremely popular, which is why I’m now providing four core Super 8 workshops to individuals and small groups in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Independent filmmakers Mike Corrigan, Travis Hiibner, Derrick King and Gary McLeod formed Head Juice Productions in 2004 after working alone and in lose affiliation with one another for years. Their collaboration has thus far produced two short films, the award-winning What’s in the Barn? (2005), and the newly-released Jack the Vomiter (2006), an irreverent homage to the silent film era thriller. The Spokane, Washington-based collective works exclusively in film-based formats, primarily Super 8 and 16mm. Areas of film interest include — but are not limited to — expressionism, surrealism, noir, stop-motion animation, documentary, and found footage. Their next film is currently in pre-production. ...

FlickerSpokane Film Festival
In early 1994, Norwood Cheek attended a film screening in Athens, Georgia by the name of Flicker. A super 8 fanatic since 15 years of age and a videographer for local musicians such as Superchunk and the Archers of Loaf, he thought that Flicker would work well in Chapel Hill, NC, which was home to many super 8 filmmakers. That fall, Cheek held the first Flicker in town, screening films at the Local 506 for an enthusiastic audience who sat on its hard cement floor. Thus, FlickerSpokane began and still maintains the same format and requirements as it did six years ago – no entry fee, films must originate on film, and be under 15 minutes. ...

Wir widmen uns vollkommen dogmenfrei der besonderen Ästhetik der kleinen Filmformate von 8 bis 16mm. Ob filmhistorische oder aktuelle Arbeiten, ob künstlerisch wertvolle Werke oder Familienfilme aus der Amateurliga – die dresdner schmalfilmtage bieten dem Schmalfilm in seiner ganzen Bandbreite sowie seinen Machern und Sammlern ein Forum und schließen damit eine Lücke im aktuellen Ausstellungs- und Festivalbetrieb, der der medienkulturellen und künstlerischen Bedeutung des Schmalfilms in seiner Repräsentationsarbeit nur unzureichend gerecht wird.

EXP24 is a not-for-profit film collective.  As well as making and screening experimental
film, we’re dedicated to creating a space where people can show their films, share ideas,
be inspired and learn how to do it themselves.   
We want to:
*Engage experienced filmmakers and new-comers alike - from Yorkshire, the UK and
beyond - to screen both celluloid and digital film/ animation.

*Provide a platform for live performance and installation that breaks away from
 the frame and traditional cinematic formats.
 
*Actively encourage and participate in a relaxed environment where conversation can,
through knowledge, experience and enthusiasm, breed new  ideas and collaborations.

This site is not a manual for small gauge filmmaking, a repository of ancient knowledge, or even best practices for using equipment. It’s just my own meandered blathering about a technology that I feel is not outdated.

The One Take Super 8 Event (OTS8) began in 2000, with 20 filmmakers each shooting a single reel of Super 8 film, which then premiered to an audience without the filmmakers seeing their work beforehand. All the films were shown as shot. No cuts. No splices. The popularity of this non-competitive festival has allowed it to return each year with more filmmakers participating. To date over 300 films have been created for the One Take Super 8 Event.

"Halprin is one of a handful of filmmakers who remain committed to the small gauge format of Super-8 while the surrounding world becomes increasingly digital. Traditionally a format of home-movies and avant-garde filmmakers, Halprin's work takes advantage of the intimacy and flexibility that Super-8 offers. His experimental diary films focus on small details, unobserved moments, and subtle variations of color, texture, and movement that often escape filmmakers working in other formats." ...

The 8 fest is a unique festival that presents all forms of small-gauge film: 8mm, Super 8 and 9.5mm, as well as works in installation, loops, and 'proto-cinema devices' like zoetropes. The 8 fest is a festival for anyone using small-gauge to create rough little gems on film – personal, handmade, experimental, animations, diaries, essays, collage, cut-ups, performance/film, music/film.

Die Politik hat die Straße sich selbst überlassen. Während Jugendkriminalität und Sozialhilfemissbrauch überall um sich greifen, Kinder und Jugendliche verwahrlosen, Werte wie Respekt, Disziplin und Hörigkeit immer mehr in Vergessenheit geraten. Das Super8 Bootcamp will hier Abhilfe schaffen. Mit seinem pädagogischen Ansatz, der militärischen Drill mit der selbstdisziplinierenden Kraft des klassischen Amateurfilmhandwerks verbindet, ist das Super8 Bootcamp eine kleine Revolution auf dem Gebiet der Resozialisierungspädagogik. Zum besseren Verständnis der dahinterstehenden Idee ist die Kenntnis der Vita des Bootcamp Gründers unverzichtbar! Denn das Camp ist im Wesentlichen das Lebenswerk eines Mannes: Captain Cartridge!

29 PALMS, CA is a feature film / art piece that explores and chronicles the dreams and fantasies of a group of individuals who live in a trailer community in the Californian desert. The world depicted in the film is inspired by the photographs of German artist Stefanie Schneider in that it combines the notions of reality and fantasy and explores the resonance of both within a desert landscape and a transient culture. The characters depicted in the film, (an actress, a singer, a DJ, a motel owner and his wife, an US army soldier, a mystic, a princess, a recluse, a movie ticket seller, two hitchhikers, a doctor, a director, etc.), are to be played by both actors and non-actors. The story is constructed through the interpretation of real life communications (i.e. phone calls, emails, conversations) that have taken place as the individuals depicted in the story try to make sense of events that have occurred in real life. In this sense the story is, in part, a biography and social commentary, and the characters are the exaggerated alter egos of the individuals who play them. ...

Lowbrow Super 8MM Galleria
Posted by Chris Burns (18.11.2009)
So you’re a graphic designer in say, 1977, and your mission is to design the covers of action, adventure, and monster horror movies, 8MM Super 8. What do you do? You put on rock and roll music and you whip out your colors and big eyeballs! Fancy lettering, fire, and skulls! Actually you could probably get away with only fancy letters or fire. Take a peek through this collection of Super 8 lowbrow movie boxes and tell me the formula.

Revel-8 kicks off this year with its most exciting theme yet – Curiosity. It’s human nature to enquire and question, so this year Revel-8 invites filmmakers to be inquisitive and explore quirky, weird and down right curious characters, stories and styles, on a single cartridge of Super-8 film. Filmmakers resident in Australia are invited to respond creatively and innovatively to the theme of CURIOSITY, and to explore the genres of drama, documentary, experimental and animation. Films must be shot in sequence on just one cartridge of Super 8 film lasting just three and a half minutes - no processing allowed!

Home Movie Day first commenced in August 2003 when a group of film archivists created a cultural outlet for the public display of private films. Similar gatherings have occurred annually worldwide. This diverse collection presents 22 amateur films, including a 16mm print of George Eastman and Thomas Edison documenting the use of Kodak's Kodacolor technology. It also contains films of utter anonymity, such as a Super 8 recording of carnival rides in action--the film's silver emulsion having decomposed so as to produce a psychedelic experience not unlike that of a kaleidoscopic acid rock video. If only commercially driven content such as America's Funniest Home Videos or "reality" TV were so curiously entertaining. Living Room Cinema's bits of personal history are engrossing because they were never intended for mass viewing. Spanning much of the last century, the films provide authentic voyeurism; conscious cinema verite this is not. Many of the clips are presented with optional commentary by various participants, family members, or discoverers of lost treasures. Alternatively, composer Donald Sosin provides original music scores recalling silent film-era accompaniment. Recommended for libraries serving film studies programs.

“The look of super 8 is still very much sought after,” says Julien Dorgère, the French founder of the new Super 8 Shots film festival in Galway. “People shoot digital and they all complain that it’s flat. It is very hard to make digital film footage look good. But with super 8, it has a charm.
