Festival Description:

The Super 8mm film format has undergone a creative renaissance in the last five years due to the digital revolution and the re-discovery of small film by users the world over.

In 2007, the first Cambridge Super 8 Festival was a hugely successful event with more than 70 films in 3 competitive programs and 2 non-competitive programs. All genres of film were represented (animation, fiction, documentary and experimental film), illustrating the  diversity of the format and our film selection.

The competition and panorama programs will show the best films originated on the brilliant Super 8 format. Find out more about us, our events and how you can enter and get involved in 2008.

The Festival accepts only films which have be shot on the Super 8 format (or at least 50% of the running time). Any genres are accepted (documentary, fiction, experimental, music videos, etc.). The best films and the award winning films may form part of the 'Best of the Festival' International touring program.
