1:1 Super 8 Film Festival will feature 20 local indie filmmakers who were not permitted to edit, slice, splice or even previewed their films prior to the screening. What they shot in-camera, is exactly what viewers will see. The manifesto is “One cartridge! One take! One night!”
According to organizers, “The concept of using Super 8 cameras is centered on the idea that Super 8, often discarded to antiquity in this digital age, is still the most affordable film gauge for independent filmmakers. In recent years, more attention has been given to this film format, as it once sat on the edge of extinction. Now its effects are seen in major Hollywood films, as well as music videos and mainstream television commercials.”
Filmmakers will include AdrienneRose Gionta, Ian Rosenberg, Devin Scott, Eric Fuhrmann, Kohyi Sanchez, Paula Hart, Hector Romagosa, David Levine, Ammar Marimutu, Van-Eric Prevalus, Alex Stevens, Derek Taylor, Jason Forsyth, Verner Maldonado, Andreyna Sanchez, Nick Sacci and Rhett Baron. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and screenings begin at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 8 at The Maxwell Room, adjacent to The Downtowner Saloon, 10 S. New River Drive East, downtown Fort Lauderdale. Cost: $5 suggested donation. For more info, contact Shane Eason at 1to1super8filmfestival@gmail.com or 954-762-5246.
