Super 8

Cheap roadside rooms

Super 8 is a film format introduced by Kodak in 1965, using 8mm-wide film in easy-loading cartridges.

It became the dominant home movie format through the 1970s and early 1980s, prized for its grainy, nostalgic aesthetic.

Filmmakers still use Super 8 for its distinctive look: We shot the flashback sequences on Super 8.

Also refers to cameras and projectors using this format.
