As part of rushes soho shorts festival and as a prelude to the2010 london premieres:
straight 8 are  showing a retrospective of a decade of  excellence crammed onto one screen for one night only.

There are so many films  so they will be showing two at a time - with the audio on switchable headsets. Two 4:3 straight 8 films fit perfectly in a cinemascope crop. so it’s meant to be. bonkers.

filmmakers will be there. The straight 8 2010 london premieres are on the 26th, 27th and 28th July.

Background info

Anyone, anywhere is invited to rise to straight 8's challenge shoot a short film on a single cartridge of super 8mm film

straight 8 sends out the cartridge and takes care of processing, which means
entrants only way of editing is by taking each shot in sequence. This is film not video, so no re-takes - expect to hear "that's great, let's move on" after every shot.

Your soundtrack must be original and you upload it separately.

If your film's great you'll see it for the first time at a packed straight 8
screening.

straight 8 is open to anyone anywhere. if you have a film in you we want to
see it
