Super-8-Weekend 2024

The Super 8 weekend – radically analogue
Three days, from 29.11. to 01.12.2024, with beautiful, crazy, funny films, lots of exchange, workshop, sandwiches and scrambled eggs at City 46.

On Friday 29 November, the stage and screen will be open for the long Super 8 film night, which will be held to mark the Kafka Year 2024 under the motto ‘Super 8 meets Kafka’. The audience can look forward to two programme blocks. All participants had full artistic freedom to engage with Franz Kafka and his works either directly, symbolically or in an abstract and contemporary way.

The evening starts at 7 pm with a 90-minute programme of digitised, reworked and soundtracked Super 8 films that were created as part of a workshop at the University of the Arts Bremen. The films will celebrate their joint public premiere on this evening and will be supplemented by live elements in the cinema.

From 9 p.m., the projector will be switched on in the second 70-minute part of the evening’s programme and analogue Super 8 films that have not been edited and have only been cut in the camera will be shown. The films will be complemented by live music and, in some cases, live spoken texts and performances. A cross-disciplinary and cross-genre experiment that is full of surprises for both the audience and the participants themselves.

The musicians of the evening, presented by Stadtlauscher:

Conrad Schwenke – keyboard instruments
Tobias Streubel – percussion

The programme is complemented by a workshop with Super 8 icon Dagie Brundert, who will have some filmmakers shoot short Super 8 films on Saturday, which they can then develop in a mix brewed on site.

The results will be screened on Sunday at a cosy breakfast at 10:00 am.
