Welcome to lovers of little film and the culture it holds.

LittleFilm.org is a project of IC8, the International Center for 8mm Film, an educational organization dedicated to 8mm film. We are devoted to enabling the artists and families who create, show, cherish, promulgate, preserve and enjoy little film gems. At LittleFilm.org, we offer technical assistance to help make moving images today with 8mm film or preserve home movies and artistic works that were created in the smaller film gauges.

LittleFilm is motion pictures made by individuals for the love of it. They love the subject being filmed and the act of filming. Some people make films for the love of filmmaking so littlefilm can be used for extraordinary experiments and artistic expression. Some people make home movies because they love what is going on around them in their family or in their community so littlefilm becomes their path to preserving that experience. All people who use 8mm film choose it because they find it more beautiful, flexible, touchable and permanent than newer moving image media. We love the filmmakers, the subjects, the act of filmmaking. We believe that the continuity of individuals filming needs to be showcased and encouraged.

This page is a work in progress, so please forgive jumbles and unlinked items. Here is the current edition of our newsletter, B&T's Little Film Notebook, selections from our 1982 filmmaking manual Super 8 in the Video Age, and a filmmaking primer. The latest issue or back issues of the newsletter are available on paper by sending your mailing address and a donation by classic mail to IC8, P.O. Box 335, Rowley, MA 01969, USA. Our third edition of the book is out of print, but we hope to finish a new edition soon and publish it here.

In our sister site, the forthcoming littlefilm.com, you can find a description of the work of IC8 founders Bob Brodsky and Toni Treadway. For twenty years, we have provided high quality motion picture transfer services for 8mm, Super 8mm and 16mm film. We only work on camera original reversal film and do scene by scene transfers with wet gate to ensure the little films are represented in the digital world as beautifully as possible.

Stay tuned.

Toni Treadway, Webmaster

Visitors, we are changing this site as we go with the long range plan of creating a very transparent and flexible home for those who love and make LittleFilm. Please check back often as we hope to create a place where you can register your films in a large community center so we can all see the dimension and diversity of movies made on LittleFilm.

The LittleFilm.org site is made possible by Bob Doyle and his team at skyBuilders.com who chose IC8 as one of their Beta sites on March 4, 2001. We appreciate his generous donation of time, design of brilliant webWare, training and hosting; we are thrilled at the opportunity his work represents for creating a closer community for LittleFilm makers and friends. We like how Bob Doyle moves his vision into action to enable people to learn and communicate with ever-evolving media tools. We have know him as a pioneer since the earliest days of Super 8mm filmmaking. We have watched as his historic dedication to the democratization of media spread into new tools and capabilites and a reach to the sky. Thank you, Bob Doyle for creating and sharing skyBuilders.com!
