new films resolution
as the hangover clears you might find your new year's resolution is to make a short film
how about committing to do it by march 31?
done and dusted
make it on one cartidge of super 8 with only in-camera editing and you may well see it, for the first time, at cannes film festival 2011 with a packed out audience
it's definitely a challenge. if it sounds like a resolution you can handle, like many before you, you should enter straight 8 2011
for january only, the price is just £50 including vat and p+p (instead of £80)

for over a decade the level playing field created by straight 8's rigorous rules has been a great place for novice and expert filmmakers to play and experiment together and work with complete autonomy. no themes, no script selection…
make the film you want to make. make it good and see it on a big screen
besides cannes, more than half the entries are usually shown at further screenings in great cinemas and festivals including london's curzon and renoir cinemas
with four amazing kodak film stocks to choose from in colour and black and white and introducing the latest 100d ektachrome, there's literally never been a better time to go for it
and the perfect way to get inspiration for straight 8 2011 is to come to our retrospective - check it out below
straight 8 retrospective2 @ london short film festival
we're showing a retrospective of a decade of straight 8 excellence crammed onto one screen at the london short film festival
there are so many… we’re 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. but fun
it's happening at the fabulous roxy bar and screen, at 8pm this monday, 10th january
tickets are £5 on the door
there's a complete list of what we're showing on the facebook event
we held our first retrospective2 screening at the ICA last year and it went down a storm so this one is not to be missed
we’ve chosen the film pairings for maximum impact and oddity...
watching a shocking and dark film about a man with a perversion that makes him want to eat parts of his own body preferably served by prostitutes (damnation) while hearing from outside your headphones the other half the cinema roaring with laughter at julia davis and rich fulcher frolicking in their 2008 fetishistic straight 8 caper (black whispers in an elephant sky) is bonkers and totally ace.
whew. and that's just one of 21 pairs of films
huge thanks to 750 audio post-production who’ve made the arty audio mayhem possible
loads of the cream of straight 8 filmmakers will be there and it's the perfect place to find inspiration for your straight 8 2011 film
you'll be able to get discounted, on-the-spot entry, and we'll be raffling off an entry too
be there or be2
