Just because people are shooting Super 8 for their commercial video
work does not make it a relevant format. On the other hand, the Super
8 film is *preserved* through the digitizing process, and some would
argue this is a good thing. I appreciated the Goethe Institute's
digital exhibition of a small selection of East Berlin Super 8 films,
a couple years ago. These filmmakers seemed to elevate the *gauge*
beyond convenience and displayed with great depth and technique an
understanding of the unique moods Super 8 can create. Mood can be
captured with Super 8 in an almost automated way. Usually, it is a
format that barely needs the filmmaker to do more than push a button
to achieve a pleasing image. A pleasant automated image like this
reminds me of video surveillance footage like you would see in a
deli... Now I'm reminded of the Stasi Super 8 footage in Amie Seigel's
DDR/DDR, but in a different way
