Super 8, what is it?
An 8mm film in a cartridge, born in 1965 at Kodak. Designed for handheld shooting, it has become the analogue signature of image craftsmen.
- 01
Film
8mm strip loaded in a cartridge: around 15 metres for 3 minutes of footage.
- 02
The grain
The analogue signature: living matter, exposure latitude, micro-imperfections that build character.
- 03
The big comeback
Discontinued, then recreated with 21st-century technology, the film returned to the global market on 1 October 2018. More relevant than ever: +35% sales in 2025.
