Launched in 1965, super 8 film was the choice of amateur filmmakers and movie enthusiasts, alongside experimental and underground filmmakers. Here was a format that was accessible, comparatively practical and offered the opportunity for ordinary people to become filmmakers. 

Now, with filmmakers once again exploring the visual possibilities of the medium, super 8 is making something of a comeback. 

Join filmmakers Adam C Briggs and Sam Dixon, whose A Grand Mockery is screening at Revelation, as they deliver this workshop, talking about their creative decision to use the format and get to take a closer look at the world of super 8 filmmaking.
