A Word From Our Participants

“It was refreshing to experience again that transfixing romance that Super 8 can bring.”
Sam Hearn


“I learned and felt inspired. Your idea that there was no selective process involved in the participation is brilliant and distinctive within the world of film.”
Lea Hartlaub


“I thought I might be bored with two hours of cine but I wanted to see more... more... more!”
Tom Hodgkinson


“I thought the evening was amazing. It was sort of like brainstorming in Super 8.”
Eileen Bonner


“I felt greatly empowered by the process because it forces you to cover all the bases and really work through an idea before you film it.”
Dave Corfield


“I learned that I don't have to be terrified of using film. There were so many different ways of using film and all of them looked beautiful, I doubt I'd be saying the same thing if all the films had been shot on video.”
Menekse Ozkutan


“There was more creativity and inventiveness on show at this event than can be found watching several weeks of television. ”
Dan Cull


“I must confess I was shitting myself by the time my film came round but I think it went down rather well.”
Sam Rogers


“Thank you both for providing the me with the opportunity and motivation to make a short Super 8mm film for the first time ever! What a great initiative!”
Louise Emerson


“Although I experienced extreme terror up till the point that the film got screened, I even look back at that feeling as part of the enjoyment.”
David Treanor


“The event was like a salve to the soul. It was tremendously empowering for me.”
Sainttina De Moleay


“It was a really nice atmosphere on the night and everybody seemed supportive of everybody else's films.”
Jessica Lyne de Ver
