My wife has found 4 carts of exposed super8 film and wants to get it processed to see what is on it, but I know of no place that still processes super 8 color film. Any help?

Which type is the film?

(Kodachrome, Ektachrome, Agfa, Fuji...?)

There are actually quite a few places to get Super-8 processed, but some old film types aren't done anymore.

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

A few mouse clicks on Google found BPS Film Lab in Batavia. About 30 mi. from Bolingbrook according to the web. Give 'em a call to see if they're still in business. They may know of someone closer to you.

If it's Kodachrome the only place that will process it is Film Rescue International. They will process it as Black and white. They also do other processes that have been discontinued. If it's Black and white or Color Reversal (E6) here are a few good options.
