This programme brings back focus to the use of the Super-8 gauge in film practice with a presentation of a collection of Australian experimental Super-8 film, most of which have not been publicly screened before. Still preferred by many, Super-8 has been a favoured gauge internationally by such greats as Derek Jarman, as well as by well-known and significant makers of avant-garde and experimental film, such as Anthony McCall, Carolee Schneemann, and John Maybury. Australia itself has seen many of its productive artists using Super-8 and a number of Super-8 film groups come and go. Today Super-8 is still used by a number of practitioners.

Curated by Richard Tuohy.

Following on from the day’s Super-8 Pinhole Workshop happening at The BAck doOR the programme will present the work filmed that day, hot from the processing tub, prior to the official screening of the S8 28 S8 programme.

Door opens at 8:00pm. Entry by donation.

(please note: warm clothing may be needed if the night is cool)
