I only discovered today reading an old Lees Camera ad that these two shorts that I ran in 35mm at the Melbourne Forum Cinema were released by Arrow.

Let me know your price and condition, I can pay with paypal.

Finally got The Magic Rolling Board on 16mm, good colour print too.

I am still after Skateboard, and also the I E International Dune Buggy Short.

Crikey, that took a while.

I do not know 'Skateboard'. Familiar with the other two; only on super 8, though.

Is MRB the same as the super 8 cut?

I think Skateboard and MRB are different, as I have them advertised in a listing from Lees Cameras at the same time.

Many of these shorts were shown theatrically in 35mm and therefore would have made it to 16mm libraries as well, before being licenced for Super 8 use. These types of docos are amongst my favouite subjects to collect.

In Australia up until the mid 1980's most cinemas ran a cartoon and short before the main feature. That is where I saw and ran so many of this type of short.
