CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
the 8 fest 2011
INTRODUCTION
The 8 fest seeks your 8mm, Super-8, 9.5mm or other small gauge film projects
(such as loops and installations) for our 2011 installment next January.
Films can be:
Experimental, animated, personal, handmade.
Diary & essay films, documentaries.
Live performance and music mixed with film.
Films from everyday culture historical footage, home movies.
The 8 fest exhibits all work on film. Works selected for the festival,
therefore, must be finished on small-gauge film (8mm, Super 8, 9.5mm). We
also exhibit blow-ups to 16mm of films that have been finished on
small-gauge (or unsplit 8mm pieces). We do not exhibit projects on video or
digital.
The 8 fest uses professional small-gauge projection equipment including Elmo
GS-1200 and ST-1200 models. Our technicians and programmers have many years
experience specializing in small-gauge film formats and technology. The
greatest care will be taken in handling, previewing and projecting films. .
Submission form online at: http://the8fest.com/
Deadline: September 15, 2010

Submissions can be sent either on film or on a preview copy in DVD, mini DV
or VHS formats. (Exhibition on film only)
Our New Works program is limited to work from the past 5 years, but wešre
always curious to include older work in other program. Please feel free to
get in touch if you have older work you think we would be interested in.

For installations or performances: Please include detailed technical
requirements and any equipment needs. We have limited resources for
non-projection equipment (e.g. lights, mutiple mics, etc.) the more
