Straight 8

Straight 8 is a guerrilla kind of film movement that was started by Ed Sayers and Ben Gregor of London ad production house Godmans. They have been organising the super 8 mm film festival for several years now. The rules of their game are: each film-maker gets a single cartridge of super-8 film to make his or her three-minute epic, which is then handed back, undeveloped and unedited, along with a three-minute soundtrack.

Kinemastik, Din L-Art Helwa and St James Cavalier hosted a night of Best Straight 8 films 2005 in the Red Tower in Mellieha Bay.
