Wow! That's at least 3 new subscriptions! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
"Film for the Collector" is, as Keith points out, a magazine printed by Derann Film Services roughly 4 times each year.
It was started by super 8 champion Derek Simmonds, hero of all things super 8, back in September 1985 as a magazine for subscribers to Derann's then "Collector's Club".
The magazine also includes "Super 8 Film Review", which is overseen by Keith Wilton, master of all things super 8 and a gentlemen without whom this amazing hobby of ours would never have quite reached the great heights of both print and sound quality with which we are used to.
The magazine was always intended as a publication which belonged to the super 8 collector. Articles from collectors themselves were always the backbone of this magazine, including from the outset articles from fountains of knowledge such as Phil Sheard of "Classic Home Cinema".
Recently, several members of this very forum have had printed brilliant and enlightening articles which they have submitted.
Although super 8 releases may not be quite as abundant as they once were, the contributors to this marvelous magazine still put in masses of work and enthusiasm...
Personally, I feel quite guilty, as for many years now I have intended to send off the odd "article" to "Film for the Collector"...it can be about anything film related...your favourite film, cinemas of the past, generally, the fun we have all experienced using real film over the years which we want to share with each other and which I'm sure we would all like to read about and keep.
Of course, work and other commitments always get in the way, which is why I admire all the more the marvelous effort by the contributors to this publication.
Personally, I have decided over the next couple of weeks to get those long overdue articles hammered down and sent in...before it is too late.
If you haven't heard of "Film for the Collector", or have just let your subscription lapse, I'd urge you to give Derann a call tomorrow before we lose yet another foundation of this marvelous hobby of ours.
After all, as was stated right from the outset in 1985, this is a publication offered for and by "us", the real film collectors.
