RPS 19 Show Report - Super 8 Film Night

Image
Our Super 8 film night last Saturday evening was great. We watched a total of 17 short films ranging in length from about 2 minutes to 20 minutes. The program was divided into two half with the first half consisting of a number of Super 8 films I've found online. After a brief intermission we screened the second half of the program which featured shorts from the 2010 Cambridge International Super 8 Film Festival. Overall the response was good and I think people really enjoyed most (if not all) of the films. The next show - our 20th - will have to be a good one. I'm thinking about what to do. Ideas?

They all have on thing in common - all were shot in the Super 8 film format. This is a RARE opportunity to see the state of Super 8 filmmaking today and experience stories told across the globe in a variety of ways.
