The Melbourne Super 8 Film Group was a co-operative group of filmmakers (using the Super 8 medium) that existed between 1986 and 2001, and it was very dynamic (in the days before digital cameras), publishing a newsletter/magazine each month, having screenings each month, a big festival each year, and also programming films within Melbourne International Film Festival.
As part of his "Shoring Project", Dirk de Bruyn has scanned nearly all the newsletters and released them on Vimeo.
Here are Dirk's notes on this archive -
"I have animated the Melbourne Super 8 Film Group Newsletters (1986-2001) as a 4k Vimeo. It is not really meant to be watched but scrolled through frame by frame. This is the first move in bringing a compacted Research Archive, an invisible history of innovative film culture in Melbourne to public international access. Please use. For extended use I recommend you download in 4K to have greatest frame to frame control of this document. These pages will eventually be available on the Melbourne Independent Filmmakers website in more accessible form (PDFs), thanks to Bill Mousoulis, the MS8FG founder. I thank Jim Bridges for his collaboration in this project. I thank Chris Windmill for lending me the bulk of the newsletters."
When you click the link to Vimeo, next to Volume, is Symbol called Settings, were you can slow down the SPEED, to 0.5x and also choose quality at 4K. And pause to read, it goes very Fast. Starts after 10 seconds.
