An an amazing film festival showcasing primarily SUPER 8 film projects curated from all over the world. 18 films ranging from 3 minutes to 22 minutes. Projected on a 20 foot screen in the comfortable and accommodating Voorhees Hall, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. All films were presented with great visual accuracy and sound via hard drives and BLU-RAY disks.
The diverse ensemble of films spanned the globe – Finland, Germany, Switzerland, and the UNITED STATES, of course. The subject matter was broad, ranging from experimental, drama, comedy, horror, and action. There was definitely something for everyone.  Most of the SUPER 8 films were in their purest form, organic film, real celluloid. Others mixed the organic with digital. SUPER 8 reigned supreme, but there were still a couple of HD movies in the line-up.
This festival is a fantastic venue that supports REAL FILM, both artistically and academically. A fun, non-pretentious festival in a great community of artists and entertainers. A festival worth submitting to and attending.
The highlights of the festival:
