Magical Places programme. “Super 8, perhaps the last new format for film, stands at the crossroads of the post modern era, the contemporary of space travel and cpmputer technology and the direct descendent of Edison’s Kinetoscope ... Super 8 is the magical format made for capturing the most magical of moments and places.
