  • ISO - Various 8mm Digest “Scans”

    Greetings,

    Recently I’ve gotten into 8mm Digest prints and love seeing both the recut/truncated version of the feature and the film on a smaller film stock.

    I don’t have access to an 8mm projector so for now collecting would be fruitless.

    I’ve had good luck finding a handful of 8mm digests already circulating online, but after researching here and some other 8mm sites, I compiled a list of other 8mm digest prints I’m seeking after. I’ve already seen some of them discussed here.

    I’m curious if anyone would be willing to share any scans or videos filmed of their 8mm digest prints from the collection I’m after. Even just filmed on an iPhone is good enough for me. At the moment I’m very interested in the format and learning more about digest prints.

    I have a large collection of film scans (35mm/70mm/16mm/15:70/8mm) and would be happy to make a trade for anyone’s efforts. Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the forum Jonathan!

    I don't have any scans or videos to share, but here are a few things to review which might be of interest to you:

    The Humming Projector is a podcast by enthusiasts for enthusiasts and started by Eivind Mork. We hope to share the love for films, projectors and film collecting with others by discussing topics we find interesting and making interviews.
    Source: https://hummingprojector.com/

    The first episode, Digests & Extracts is available at https://hummingprojector.com/podcast...ests-extracts/

    Another good resource is https://super8database.com/

    You can search each title in your list to see if that film was ever released on Super 8; the running time, color or B&W, who released it, etc.

    ​For example:

    If you have particular questions about a film you are interested in getting, this forum is an excellent resource. You can read collectors reviews of films they own, and learn about the gotcha's of film collecting, such a red prints, faded prints, etc.
