Shane Eason - 1:1 Super 8 Cinema Soire Director

INFORMATION & HISTORY

The original One Take Super 8 Event (est. 2000 by Alex Rogalski) was a way to help create more independent films
by a variety of artists, while giving the local community an opportunity to view the films collectively. Using a super 8
camera is centered on the concept that this type of film, often discarded to antiquity in this digital age, is still an
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, music videos, and
mainstream television ads.
Many of the super 8 events, such as the 1:1 Super 8 Cinema Soire, are distinct film screenings, in that none of the
films are viewed by the filmmakers before being screened. Participants are not allowed to edit or preview their films.
Whats shot in-camera, is whats shown. No physical cuts or splices are allowed by the participants, and there is no
opportunity to make changes. This idea leads to exciting, refreshing films and a rare opportunity for a public viewing.
Each year the 1:1 Super 8 Cinema Soire, coordinated by filmmaker and FAU film Professor Shane Eason, has
spawned a cache of great films, holds an impressive festive atmosphere, and continues to have a loyal following. The
popularity of this noncompetitive event has enabled it to return each year with more filmmakers participating.
This year will mark the 1:1 Super 8 Cinema Soire eighth year in South Florida. Its quite the milestone and a topic of
discussion among those yearning the sight and smell of super 8 film and the soothing sound of a super 8 projector.
So grab a camera, get some of that celluloid, and shoot for this years Annual 1:1 Super 8 Cinema Soire.

8th ANNUAL 1:1 SUPER 8 CINEMA SOIRE

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA
ONE REEL | ONE TAKE | ONE NIGHT
INFORMATION | RULES | REGULATIONS
1. The screening is limited to 20 to 24 participants. The event will be comprised entirely of new work. No old
cartridges or reels will be accepted without prior knowledge of organizers. The screening is scheduled for
approximately 7:00 p.m. Saturday December 5th, 2015. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. Its open to the public and
donations or a small entry fee will be accepted at the door. Participating filmmakers will get in for free.
2. Participating filmmakers are responsible for acquiring their own operational super 8 camera, tripod, lights, and any
other suitable production equipment. You may find working cameras online; friends or family; thrift shops; or estate,
garage, and yard sales. Prices for super 8 cameras are relatively reasonable. However, do the research prior to
purchase. Some cameras can be priced quite high. Further, be sure the camera, if recently found/purchased, is
mechanically operational. If you havent already done so, shoot a test roll with the camera and send it to a film
processing lab. There is nothing worse than burning a roll of film, sending it off, and having it return with problems
such as light leaks, malfunctioning iris, focus, zoom, shutter, et cetera.
3. You may provide your own cartridge of film, only if its one of the stocks listed herein. There is no Kodachrome
available. Its been discontinued. If you choose to supply your own film cartridge, then youll pay a $25 fee for
processing, shipping, transfer and handling fee. If you require a full cartridge of super 8 film, youll pay a $45 fee for
film, processing, transfer, shipping, handling fee. All payments must be made in U.S. currency in cash or money
order. Films will ship at one time to the lab for processing. This ensures the entire screening package remains intact
until the evening of the screening. The processing lab this year is Pro8mm.
4. All film orders and payments must be received in a timely manner. This ensures that you receive the film promptly
and have time to shoot your film. Therefore, the shooting period will begin 10/10/15 and will run through 5 p.m.
11/06/15. All available film stocks and payment options are listed herein.
5. As this is a special one-of-a-kind event with specific cinematic characteristics that have been imposed since the
inaugural event, there will be NO opportunity to physically edit or preview your film prior to the event screening.
Therefore, plan your shoot, keep notes, and use in-camera editing techniques. What you shoot is whatll screen!
Remember, a super 8 cartridge is 50 feet, has a run time of 3m20s, and is projected at 18 frames per second. You
may add 5 seconds to the run time. The organizers will be adding one title card per film with the participants name.
6. All exposed cartridges must be returned by 5 p.m. on 11/06/15. A filmmakers information sheet and release form
(herein) must be filled out accordingly. Films will be sent to the lab the following day. There will be no late exceptions.

Davie, FL 33314
7. If you want SOUND with your film (which is encouraged) you may provide a live soundtrack at the event or a
prerecorded track to play simultaneously with your film. If a sound track is not supplied, the film will be projected
silent. Keep in mind that you will not be able to view your film before its screened. So, create the soundtrack
accordingly. High quality audio (MP3) is the preferred format. The duration of the sound track should be the same as
the super 8 cartridge, 3m20s + 5s for a title card. All sound tracks will be collected and situated together on one
source, then cued accordingly to the artists film at the screening. If youre providing live music or performance,
submit a list of what sound requirements are needed. Youre responsible for providing musical instruments, additional
amps, talent, props, etc. Sound check is available 2 hours before the screening. All sound tracks must be submitted
on 11/27/15 by 5 p.m. Send audio tracks on CD to the address listed above. Or, e-mail the digital audio file.
