ONE TAKE SUPER-8 EVENT
2008 Registration Deadline: Friday, August 22 at 4 PM
2008 marks the third year we have partnered with the WNDX festival in brining the One Take Super 8 Event to Winnipeg. In just a few short years, this event has become one of the most important incubators for new works in Manitoba. Films completed for prior editions of the Winnipeg event have gone on to be selected for screening at Images, Antimatter, the $100 Film Festival, the Festival de Cinemas Differents in Paris, among many more.
The premise is simple. Participants sign up on a first come, first served basis and do not need to have any previous filmmaking experience. The $35 participation fee is used to cover the material costs associated with participation – film stock, processing and shipping. Films are then shot in one take (no cuts, no splices – the only type of editing that is allowed is in-camera work) and filmmakers view their works for the first time at the event final screening, alongside the audience.
