The Georgetown Super 8 Film Festival (GS8) is a community based event dedicated to the creation and sharing of un-juried, amateur super 8 films

The Georgetown Super 8 Film Festival (GS8) cycle begins in January when filmmaker registration forms and posters are distributed throughout Georgetown, calling for people who are interested in learning how to make and share super 8 films. Anyone can apply, regardless of film making knowledge, and all films with appropriate content are included as long as there is room.

The registrants pay a fee that covers the cost of their film and processing, however, they may opt for subsidized or scholarship rolls on the basis of need.

Registered filmmakers attend a one-night crash course in super 8 film making; sign up to check out a GS8 camera; and are provided assistance throughout the film making process. After the filming deadline has passed, the films and optional soundtracks are compiled onto a DVD, which is screened during the event night and sold to benefit the project. At this film-screening event, attendees are asked for a pay what they can or a suggested $5 donation, however, no one is turned away for a lack of funds.The intention of GS8 is to create an inclusive environment in which everyone is able to share in the creativity that this event inspires.
