[Frameworks] Super 8 in Music Video's and film

[Jason Halprin]

Eric,

Let us see that list of festivals when you get it compiled!

There's really a ton of festivals that will still exhibit super 8 and other 
small gauge formats. Some list it explicitly, others will make an effort to 
accommodate projection when practical/technically possible.

As for a rationale, Super 8mm never really was a professional format, but has a 
great set of limitations from which to work. It is used here and there in 
commercials, features, music videos, etc (you may want to check with Pro 8mm, 
Spectra, Flying Spot, etc, and see who they've made transfers for lately), but 
its real value to a new filmmaker is initial ease of use and portability, and 
down the road for the intermediate advanced student, it offers a separation from 
the bells and whistles possible in many other workflows.
