Mark that is wonderful news about the site and as a long time fan of Iver Films its going to be great to see them celebrated in this way. Well done all involved.
Used to slip in many Iver Films into my shows when I was younger with a house full of 8mm film fans on a Friday night, and when the Iver logo hit the screen each time the audience used to shout “here’s Iver again”. Fun times they most certainly were.

Cheers for the positive feedback guys,those Iver releases were mostly excellent and probably the first company in the UK to actually release full feature length super 8mm prints too!!
Most of the other UK distributors @ the time including Derann were releasing standard abridged 4 x 400ft feature film cutdowns.

Great site Mark. Have many Iver release at home. The prints are still very good and the colour stands the test of time. Just one point mentioned on the home page. Pinewood at Iver Heath is west of London and not north. Just a small point but just needs changing to be correct.

Never thought I'd see the day when I felt nostalic over video tape boxes...brilliant...can't wait for the super 8 addition!
I,m glad you like the site,I am working on getting the materials together for the 8mm section as we speak,Iver used to run some lovely full page monthly adverts in the late great Movie Maker magazine so I hope to locate same asap.
