What Makes the Super GR8 Film Festival AWESOME!
When you think about hubs for independent
filmmaking, it is unlikely Harrisonburg, Virginia would come to mind as a place where extraordinary film projects are being born by the dozens, but this is precisely what happens every fall when two local residents, AKA festival directors Paul Somers and Tim Estep announce that it is time again for the annual Super GR8 Film Festival.
The idea is to make a complete film on one 50-foot roll of Super 8 film with all the edits done in the camera. Filmmakers see their film for the first time on screening night, so the excitement and anticipation is intense, for not only the filmmaker, but the actors and audience as well.While single roll super 8 film festivals have been around for a number of years, and have a popular following, what happens in Harrisonburg during October and November is a transformation of community rallying around the arts and creative process unlike anything I have ever seen or experienced before in my 30 years of working with the Super 8 medium.

Seeking NYC footage of 1965
Andrei Ujica, director of the award-winning Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu, is seeking material for his next movie. The film will focus on New York City in August, 1965 - specifically the window of time around the Beatles' first concert at Shea Stadium. Although the concert will provide a frame for the film, the movie is intended to be a larger time capsule of New York during the period, drawn as much as possible from original sources. As such, we're looking for any 8mm, Super-8, or 16mm shot that summer (it need not be August specifically, and it need not be Beatle-related).
If you're in possession of such material and are interested in participating in the project, please contact Brent Kite at
They will pay a fee for all materials used in the film.
