A short film project that breaks genre and screen boundaries
A Super 8 reel is 15 meters of film for experimental or short fiction, animation, poetic or documentary genres. 15 meters are about 3 minutes of running time. Short film in its purest form, completely analog – and silent.
With the Bremen Super 8 evening, the Filmbüro Bremen thought up the addition of music in 2004. The films on the screen were supplemented with live, improvised film music.
The Filmfest Bremen is taking the cult format Super 8 one step further. The goal is a cross-disciplinary live event full of surprises: analog film meets spoken word and live music on stage, sometimes dance or performance... there are (almost) no artistic limits to the imagination.
Nine interdisciplinary teams, consisting of filmmakers, authors and artists, have taken up the challenge and each developed a project especially for this evening. On April 23, 2022, the works premiered at the Theater Bremen.
