The SUPER 8 magazine that portrays filmmakers and their films. We bring news from the international small format film scene and give tips on how to make Super 8 films. Of course it's also about technology.
CONTENTS
- Nikon, Nizo or Beaulieu? Which is the best? Film pro Zach Moore from New York reports on which Super 8 camera he chose after extensive testing. And as always: with QR codes that lead directly to the film test samples.
- Young Super 8 star from Ukraine. A man flees Ukraine to continue doing what he loves best in Berlin: making movies and videos. And he did it effortlessly and grandiosely, even though it was Artem Shapirenko's first time with this format.
- Old cine star from Ukraine. Another one also comes from Ukraine: Yakov Bogolpolsky alias Boolsky alias Bolsey. As a Russian-born Jew, he became a citizen of the world. First he went to Switzerland, later he immigrated to the USA. Wherever he was, he invented movie cameras: Bol, Bolex, Bolsey. Super 8 Magazine tells his life story with many prototypes that never made it to the stores.
- Snowboarding on Super 8. Wojciech Nieżychowski from Warsaw shoots adventures in the snow with a Beaulieu. His Polish Colombia Boys love snowboarding – and he's always along for the ride. Sometimes on the board, sometimes behind the camera, sometimes both.
- When is the new one coming? There are nice prototypes of Logmar and Yolk on the Internet, but still nothing concrete from Kodak. How about the chances of a new movie camera in 16mm or Super 8 format? At least on one, work is progressing.
- Three guys eastward. A western with an invisible horse. That could only be the brainchild of three wacky Super 8 filmmakers: Gunnar Grah, Andreas Kersten and Florian Rau. They filmed their Italo-Western-persiflage in Brandenburg – on a newly invented Cinemascope-imitation. The result is called "Acht Dosen Westwärts" (Eight Cans Westward).
- Steven Spielberg gives small format movies a starring role. In the new movie "The Fabelmans," director Spielberg traces his youth. And there's a lot of 8mm and 16mm involved. We show pictures from the film and bring you quotes from the American master about his beginnings with cine film.
- News: Orwo, Andec, Deidesheim. A new lab in France, one in Australia, a couple traveling in Super 8, competitions, changes at Andec, oddities from Orwo. And a preview of Deidesheim, the film fair par excellence.
