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 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.
