Last summer, over 40 people took part in a LIVE DUCK SHOOT filming Ely’s Muscovy Ducks with Super 8 cameras on Ely Riverside. This summer solstice the LIBERTY BELLE tour boat will become a FLOATING MICRO CINEMA with a special afternoon/evening of Super 8mm footage from the LIVE DUCK SHOOT along with a selection of films relating to life on the river.
At Abbeygate Picturehouse in Bury St Edmunds
The season kicks off with State of the Eight. This documentary double-bill will examine the impact and continued allure of Super 8 from the 1980s through to today.
Super Eight / 1986 | UK | 60 mins. Dir: Jo Comino.
Originally commissioned for and screened as part of the Eleventh Hour season on Channel 4 Television, Super Eight offers a unique insight into the world of the small film format during the 1980s.
Super 8…mon amour ! (Trailer) by Phares-Balises
Super 8: Mon Amour / 2012 | France | 52 mins | French Language (English Subtitles) Dir: Rémy Batteault.
A Super 8 camera itself becomes the narrator’s voice in this whimsical, fantasy documentary about filmmakers and their love of the Super 8 format. We are delighted to welcome director Jo Comino for this special event. Both screenings will be preceded by a short introduction and followed by a Q&A session.
