The Third Annual Chicago 8: Small Gauge Film Festival
October 18-20th 2013 @ The Nightingale
Call for entries

The Chicago 8 Small Gauge Film Festival focuses on providing an opportunity to exhibit a wide selection of Super 8 experimental films from around the world created by new, emerging, and professional filmmakers. Our goal is to keep small gauge filmmaking alive, to encourage further activity in this format, and to provide an opportunity for these rare gems to be seen by the Chicago community. We realize how delicate and impermanent S8mm & small gauge filmmaking is, now more than ever. We feel it is of upmost importance to share these films with you and along the way we hope to encourage, inspire, and support those who bravely continue to work in these small formats.

In our first two years we’ve shown over 120 films by 85 filmmakers from the US, Canada, Argentina, Taiwan, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, and, The Netherlands.
