Thanks a lot, Tyler!

The book will be published in June. A week ago, we made the photo shooting for 70 photographs to illustrate the book - besides to prospectuses, old advertisements and instructions manuals. If you are interested in the book, please read here: https://www.mysuper8.net/shop/single-8-story/ One example from the photo shooting: The rare Canon 518SV Single-8 camera.

The new Super 8 mag is available here: www.super8mag.de/shop - and these are the topics of the new issue: Helga Fanderl – the woman who made 1000 movies No editing after shooting, only projections, nothing longer than three minutes, silent – the dogmas of Helga Fanderl. The 78-year-old from Berlin (and Paris) has been an enthusiastic Super 8 filmmaker since 1986. She travels the world with her films. “All you have to do is invite me,” says the agile filmmaker. She is our discovery of the year! Workshops worldwide It has become so difficult to find a repair address for movie cameras or projectors. Samuel Preston has set out and researched worldwide: Who repairs what? The result is sobering: there are not many left. But 28 active companies responded to our inquiries. A lot from the USA Personalities in boxes – How do you develop expired films? Ben Slotover from the UK is an expert in developing expired film stock. In this issue of Super 8 Magazine, he shares his best recipes. Also important: Which films are worth the effort? Impossible? Think again: Breathe new life into Nizo sound movie cameras Stefan vom Stein describes how to repair the Nizo Sound models. Until now, broken belts were considered the death knell for the camera. You have to remove the entire interior to replace the belt. Unless, that is, you do it like Stefan vom Stein. Narrow film in the Balkans – Super 8 in Romania Karsten Weber from the Chaos Film Group in Kiel (Germany) describes a trip to an analog paradise – Romania. Who would have thought? Insights into a film festival and a museum in the Balkans. A German in Paris: David Neumann dreams on Super 8 Analog photography and filming just fit so well in the City of Love – Paris. That's what film enthusiast David Neumann has discovered, and he reports on his Super 8 films, all of which are set in his new home on the Seine. Coming in the next issue: a special edition celebrating “60 years of Super 8” An anniversary we don't want to miss. The unusual review of every year in the Super 8 cosmos. A subscription to our magazine is now twice as worthwhile!

So, four more orders and we have at least reached the minimum number of copies for the pre-sold edition. I am pretty sure that this can be done by the New Year. The research for the book is almost complete and a photographer has been found who will take all new photos of the cameras with special details from my collection. https://www.mysuper8.net/shop/single-8-story-english/

We have tracked down two German-language industrial films from the early 1970s. They were made at the Eumig plants in Kirchdorf (Upper Austria) and Vienna (Austria). The films show the production of Super 8 cameras and projectors in the two plants. They are in German, but self-explanatory. You can find the films here: www.super8.tv/de/. If you switch to the English website (top right) after watching, you will find many more interesting Super 8 topics and films. The photo here is made earlier, in Standard 8mm times.

The new issue of the Super 8 Magazine (bilingual English/German) is in print. Here are the topics: Super 8 competition Take part in our film competition on the subject of WINTER. We are giving away 20 cartridges of the new Wolfen Color 400 Super 8 movie film with development & scanning. All twenty participants can then shoot their film. A jury will select the three winners from the scans received. First prize is a freshly maintained Agfa Movexoom 10 mos electronic. News: New Super 8 Films from Germany The Super 8 magazine presents the first results of the new Wolfen Color 400 color negative film. The new Single-8 movie film LossauColor 200D is also introduced. Furthermore in the news: innovative two-part split reels from van Eck (Netherlands) and video transfers with your own projector via smartphone. Zach Moore: The film of his life He started in 2019 and hopefully will finish in 2025. But a trailer on YouTube has recently been whetting our appetite for this brilliant 90-minute film portrait of the people of New York. Zach Moore planned this film meticulously and shot it with three movie cameras – on Super 8. Zombies on Super 8 They are probably the last of their kind. Ralf Möllenhoff and his team RIP – Independent have been making horror films for 35 years. In an age when stories are rarely told with small format film, their latest production “KITO - Zombies and Cannibals” is a real exception. We're getting the creeps just thinking about it! Eumig Nautica: A camera learns to dive A weatherproof and submersible cine camera did not yet exist until the mid-1970s. Gerhard Pahr, who was involved in the development of the Eumig Nautica from 1975, recalls the solutions for an underwater film camera during a lecture in Wiener Neudorf (Austria). Argentina, freedom and Super 8 Pablo César remembers the days of amateur filmmaking in his home country. He talks about the clubs and organizations that played an enormously important role in the freedom movement in Argentina. Super 8 was not only a means of individual protest for him. Heinz Thiele: Making 8mm Audible In 1958, Heinz Thiele developed the first 8mm sound film projector for Zeiss Ikon in Kiel (Germany), the Moviton. The graduate engineer worked on loudspeakers, amplifiers, movie cameras and projectors. Movilux, Moviphon, Movivox – he developed many devices to market readiness.
