And there’s more – following the storming success of ‘Super 8 My Brain’ we again present Q&As with rising Super 8 and Digital filmmakers, giving you a unique opportunity to explore the renaissance of Super 8 film making.

So get yourself to The Barfly 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.
