Schickeria - A TV documentary on Super 8
The wild years in Munich: 1965 to 1985. This was also the heyday of Super 8. Many celebrities remember it, especially Iris Berben and Thomas Gottschalk. Large parts of this four-part series, which will be released on Amazon Prime in mid-August, were shot on Super 8. Especially the acting of the young actors portraying Berben and Gottschalk. The Berlin-based analog film and photography specialist, click & surr, had the great pleasure of supporting the shoot with advice, cameras, Super 8 film, and scans.

Lukas Fritz and his Filmomat
Since 2007, when he was just a teenager, Lukas Fritz has been tinkering with automatic developing systems for film and photography. His Filmomat is now available for Super 8 and 16mm. We spoke with the inventor, who now holds a doctorate in chemistry, about his unique product, which fills a niche in the market.

The colors of summer
Francisco Pereira Coutinho from Portugal has a great idea: Every summer, when his extended family gets together, he shoots a Super 8 film – and it's always meant to be a music video. Everyone is happy to participate. While it looks casual, it has to be precisely staged. We spoke with him about this modern form of family film.

All Eumig cameras in one exhibition

Dagie Brundert makes it smell great!

You can mix in so many things: beer, Caffenol, willow bark, grass, cinnamon, chili, or cocoa. They filmed, developed, edited, and projected for two weeks. We present the best images from the workshop.

Logmar's hasty march through the camera world
It was on sale for less than four weeks starting in May 2022: the new Gentoo Super 8 camera from Danish manufacturer Logmar. Then Tommy Madsen, CEO of the company, announced that they would not be building the device after all. How did this come about? And why were the previously introduced cameras only on the market for a short time?
