Producing a veritable vaudeville, The Project8 Collective screens a surprise pack of new super-8mm films and music by established dancers, musicians, activists and old school pros at Video In Studios.

The Project8 Collective has helped reinvigorate an old film making practice by doing super-8mm film workshops at Cineworks and The Purple Thistle with artists from various background. The result equals an array of film works that borrow eclectically from multiple genres.

Celebrating the DIY movement of celluloid, artists have developed, shot, edited and hand-processed their films, learn that compelling films can be made without labs and expensive equipment.

The Project8 Collective is a group of small-format filmmakers with an interest in developing our local film community by present an alternative to the mainstream narrative production industry. A culture of producers and viewers who take the medium of film into their own hands to allow for freer creative expression in a fellowship of collaboration, skill sharing and support.

The Project8 Screening and Workshops are generously sponsored by Video In Studios, Cineworks Independent Filmmakers Society and The Purple Thistle Centre.
