Super8/16 – The CompetitionSaturday 18th January 2014, 21.00
Screening and Presentation of Awards
Those who think that Super8 is dead will be flabbergasted. Purists and experimental filmmakers, aestheticians and jesters – united by one format.
Whether 3D, 4K or 48fps – all that matters is that it's shot on 8mm or 16mm and ascended to the pinnacle of the competition, the best part of the festival.
