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 made on 8mm and Super 8 film. Since 1976 we collaborated making films, writing, teaching, and giving technical assistance to people making, showing, archiving or preserving home movies and artists' works.

WHAT IS LITTLE FILM?
LittleFilm is our word to describe motion pictures made by individuals for the love of it. They love the subject being filmed and the act of filmmaking. LittleFilm is used for extraordinary experiments and artistic expression. Little Film is also home movies because people love what is going on around them in their family or community and want to honor and preserve the experience. People choose 8mm film 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 LittleFilm. Please log in so we can send you news by email. We want our filmmaker friends 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. Your comments are appreciated and can be made or read at the bottom of any page at the Read/Add link.

This page is a work in progress, so please forgive jumbles and unlinked items; we are learning. Use the Navigation bar for quick links to parts of the current edition of our newsletter, B&T's Little Film Notebook. We will make FAQ links soon. Meanwhile, here are selections from our filmmaking manual Super 8 in the Video Age, and a filmmaking primer. The latest issue or back issues of the newsletter are available in paper by sending your mailing address (and donations if you can) by classic mail to IC8, P.O. Box 335, Rowley, MA 01969, USA. Our third edition of the book is out of print, but we hope to finish a new edition and publish it here. If you are looking for information on our work of reversal film transfers, (8mm, S8, 16mm) please visit the Brodsky & Treadway site. Thank you.

The LittleFilm.org site is made possible by Bob Doyle and his team at skyBuilders.com who chose IC8 to be a Beta site. When you log in, you are under no obligation to join groups but we run on a powerful Community Computer with open source webWare that enables interest groups, surveys, databases (under construction). Thank you Bob Doyle for sharing skyBuilders.com timeLines webWare and supporting the IC8.
