One Take Super 8 Event

The One Take Super 8 Event (OTS8) began in 2000, with 20 filmmakers each shooting a single reel of Super 8 film, which then premiered to an audience without the filmmakers seeing their work beforehand. All the films were shown as shot. No cuts. No splices. The popularity of this non-competitive festival has allowed it to return each year with more filmmakers participating. To date over 1000 films have been created for over 50 One Take Super 8 Events across North America!

Florida!

So it's become clear I'm doing a bit of catch up, but so many great OTS8 related events last year, I'm finally getting around to posting them here.

The 1:1 Super 8 Cinema Soiree (what a fancy title, no?) ended our super 8 season on December 5th last year at Jump the Shark (formerly The Bubble), which has hosted the event for many years now.

Organizer Shane Eason rounded up another great set of filmmakers, and you can see pics from the event on their Facebook Page (follow them if you are not already)

and see below for the list of films

Should have posted this a while back, but better late than never!

Syracuse hosted their 8th! event last November, with a great line up of films.

You can check out their blog here.

See what they did with the reels and film in their poster.... of course you did :)

2015 celebration plans!

Happy New Year everyone!

We are very excited for the upcoming year, as we look forward to celebrating the 50th Anniversary of super 8 film, and the 15 year since the One Take Super 8 Event had its first event in Regina at the Antechamber.

We recently received the great news that we have support from the Saskatchewan Arts Board Festivals Grant to stage two OTS8 events in Saskatchewan this year. Details will be coming soon, but the goal is to create 50 new super 8 films that will premiere in Saskatoon and Regina (25 new films for each city). Following up on our success from 2013, when the 2 cities staged successful events, we are thrilled to repeat, with Saskatoon having a growing super 8 filmmaking community, it will be exciting for both these centres to showcase their skills in the small gauge format.

We're also very grateful to have the continued support of PAVED Arts and the Saskatchewan Filmpool Cooperative who will be lending equipment support.

Stay tuned for details as we get closer to launching our call for submissions and confirming dates for our events.
