A Celebration Of Super 8

For the first time, we are organizing an international festival dedicated to the small film format. Part of Strawberry Fair, this competition will celebrate films originally made on Super 8 from all around the world.

With more than 70 films, this successful event was the opportunity to promote short films and Super 8 in particular.

Thanks for all the filmmakers who send us their work.

The 2007 festival programme can be downloaded on the single sheet or booklet version.

Look out for The Best Of Strawberry Super 8 2007 next at Le Festival Tourné Monté Super 8 de Strasbourg on Monday the 22nd of October.

To avoid confusion with Strawberry Fair, Strawberry Super 8 will now be know as Cambridge Super 8.

Super Anim-8 @ The Barfly - 8:00pm Sunday the 16th of December. 2007 - £4/£3

Let the Cambridge Super 8 Group animate Sunday the 16th of December for you with "Super Anim-8", an evening of startlingly good new Digital and Super 8 animated short films from all over the UK, Europe and the World, at The Barfly Cambridge.

The evening is in two halves, in the first half we screen delightful and delirious digital animated short films. In the second half we screen superb and sublime Super 8 short animated films. And theres more, following the storming success of Novembers "Super 8 My Brain" we again present Q&As with rising Super 8 and Digital filmmaker, giving you a unique opportunity to explore the renaissance of Super 8 film making.

So get yourself down to The Barfly this Sunday the 16th of December and join us on a Super anim-8-ed journey from the history of America via crazy light abstractions to the history of a single cigarette butt on the floor.
