ONE TAKE SUPER-8 EVENT
2010 Registration Deadline: August 13, 2010 at 4pm
2010 marks the fifth year we have partnered with the WNDX festival in bringing 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 $50 participation fee is used to cover the material costs associated with participation: film stock, processing, shipping and digital transfer. 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.
