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 founded in 1983 by filmmaker/advocates Bob Brodsky and Toni Treadway. We are dedicated to enabling artists and families who create, show, cherish, promulgate, preserve and enjoy little film gems. Since 1976 we have collaborated by filming, writing, teaching, and giving technical assistance to people making movies with 8mm or Super 8 film or those preserving home movies and artistic works.

WHAT IS LITTLE FILM?
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.

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 sign in and we will send you news or check in often as we hope to create a place where we can all see the dimension and diversity of movies made on LittleFilm. If you log in we can send you updates by email. We would like filmmakers to join us in building this community, so membership is free and we promise not to share your info. Join the community here or visit as a guest. You are under no obligation to join groups or share but we run on a powerful Community Computer with open source webWare that is enabling. Your comments are appreciated and can be made or read at the bottom of any page at the Read/Add link.

The LittleFilm.org site is made possible by Bob Doyle and his team at skyBuilders.com who chose IC8 to be a Beta site on March 4, 2001. We appreciate his generous donation of time and his design of brilliant webWare; 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 known 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!
