This is an amazing thread!

 

Andrew Bujalski's first two films Funny Ha-ha (2002) and Mutual Appreciation (2005) were shot on R16. His third film Beeswax (2009) was shot on Super16. These films have amazing cinematography by DP Matthias Grunsky.

 

He also shot Bujalski's latest film Computer Chess (2013) on 1980s video cameras and there is short sequence in the middle of the film that was shot on R16 (when a couple of the characters are high).

 

Also, Richard Linklater's Slacker and Peter Jackson's Bad Taste were shot on R16.

Does anyone know of some good shorts or features shot on 16mm Tri-X that I might be able to watch online? I'm thinking about shooting my next film on it, and all I can seem to find is the classic freshman Bolex projects, which I've seen far too much of already. Ideally I'm looking for something shot by someone who actually knows lighting and camera.

Tri-X is not really a very commercial look so doesn't tend to attract professional cinematographers! ;)

I love the way it looks tho!

Just watched Fruitvale Station and highly recommend it. I'd post the trailer but i think it gives too much away. It won sundance film festival, a bit of a modern ghetto film based on real events.

Okay Ti West's "The House of the Devil" gets my vote for recent film shot on Super16 that has really impressed me.

It might even beat out Black Swan.

It's a period film set in the 80's but it also really does look like a 35mm 80's horror movie!

 

 

 

Absolutely love this movie. :)
