These frames are photo-chemical repositories of information on FILM which will last hundreds of years. STORE FILM COOL and DRY for it is a family heirloom. Video, miniDV, DVD or newer high tech gadgets change with the marketplace and become obsolete.
To preserve the culture: take FILM!

Film equipment is not hard to find, and we'll tell you where to find it and how to rehabilitate hardware. Making moving images on film is fun, beautiful and long-lasting. We recommend that whenever you videotape or digitally record a person or event, you also take a few movies on film for the great-grandchildren. Our site will help you learn how to preserve your home movies, shoot new films, record the culture, show the images, get the oral histories to help pass on the stories.

WHAT's this concept "LITTLE FILM?"
LittleFilm is our word to describe motion pictures made by individuals for the love of it. We love the subject being filmed and the act of filmmaking. LittleFilm contains extraordinary experiments and artistic expression. LittleFilm also means home movies: people loving what is going on around them in their family or community and filming to honor and preserve the experience. 8mm film gave people access to moving images decades before camcorders were invented. Today, people choose 8mm film because they find it more beautiful, flexible, touchable and permanent than newer electronic 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.
