CAN YOU SUPER 8?
What makes Super 8 such an attraction for short films, music videos
and even commercials in this digital age?
Created as a home-video device, Super 8 is now a filmmaking format
that has achieved cult status. More than an alternative to 16mm and
35mm film, Super 8 film creates a filmic aesthetic like no
other.
JOIN US FOR THE SUPER-8 FILMMAKING WORKSHOP AND SCREENING!
SCREENINGS: flicker short films
Flicker is a non-commercial grassroots entity perpetuated by
Super-8 filmmakers and filmgoers. The original underground
filmmaking Flicker concept was developed in the 1980s in Georgia.
In the early 1990s, the second Flicker was founded in North
Carolina. Since then, Flickers across the world have popped up all
the way from Los Angeles to Prague, and everywhere in between. Join
us and experience the magic and simplicity of a good story told by
the old-fashioned celluloid way.
Expect short films that go against the grain of the commercialism
of Hollywood in this screening. More details can be found on
