Film Format: Super 8

  • Pretty Ladies: A Super 8 Explosion

    “This playful, all-girl black-and-white fantasy is indeed exploding with gorgeous, grainy Super 8 imagery. What begins as a cute send-up of old silent comedies morphs into a deliriously erotic, effects-filled dreamscape, a sapphic take on underground gay-boy filmmaker Kenneth Anger.” – Miami Lesbian & Gay Film Festival

  • Current Conditions

    A shut-in invents a job for himself. Long hours, low pay.

  • Miracle & The Making of a Miracle, A

    “A Miracle” is the first-ever music video featuring Toronto-based “Gay Folk Church Music” ensemble The Hidden Cameras. “The Making of a Miracle”, shot simultaneously on video and Super 8, is a companion piece featuring behind-the-scenes hijinks during the production.

  • Undone Unsaid

    A catalogue of things I never did or said. (RK)

  • Wild Boys (Wilde Jungen)

    A wild boy takes Bobby on a journey that changes his life forever.

  • Masturbation: Putting the Fun Into Self-Loving

    Dr. Sigmund Winston, along with the help of his trusty sidekick Billy, teaches the students of the ’50s how to put more excitement into self-loving. Boys from the local YMCA and visual aides give the audience a simple step-by-step approach to masturbation.

  • 9/11 Remembered

    The tragic event of 9/11 has left an indelible impact on the collective consciousness. This film is a way of revealing many people remembering and thinking of 9/11. Universally understood and accepted as a trigger for the memories, the sound of the jet engine roaring triggers the memories and the film ends with my continuing sob. This film is one way of expressing how I hear, feel, and see my own memories of that day which has left an unresolved sound in my mind.

  • Miracle, A

    “A Miracle” is the music movie for the song “A Miracle” by the Hidden Cameras, written by Joel Gibb.

  • Ride

    “Ride” was filmed during the Friends for Life Bike Rally, an annual fundraiser for the Toronto People with AIDS Foundation (www.pwatoronto.org). It was filmed entirely with a Super 8 camera pipe-clamped to the bicycle basket of Leif Harmsen’s Canadian Tire Special, over 700 km between Toronto and Montreal. The blissful and high energy six-day event whips the many riders into top shape and inspires many others to generously support a great charity. It also connects two of Canada’s greatest cities with simple, environmentally friendly pedal power.

  • Cruising

    “Cruising” is a hand-developed hybrid between a slide show and a film, which at only 6 fps may still be the fastest you’ve ever had to check out the action. Encouraged by its reception by the 1999 SPLICE THIS! Super 8 Film Festival workshop series, it’s being used as an experimental blueprint for more intervalominous film narratives. Could 6 fps be the speed of perception in the ‘00s?
