Don’t miss straight 8 shootout in Cannes and London
Tickets now available for the straight 8 shootout 2025. Come and see how the industry fares attempting to make cinema without a brief, a client or even any editing.
The APA and Cinelab Film + Digital present ‘straight 8 shootout 2025’ with additional support from shots, and Machineshop
Here’s the the list of companies who’ve submitted a straight 8 shootout film this year… Dept Agency, Directors Guild, Drool, Imagine This!, Mr+Positive, New-Land, Quiet Storm, Ricswrld Studios, Scuare, Siren Music, Snapper Films, and VCCP.
Each has made a short film, edited entirely in-camera, on just one roll of Super 8 film! Every film will be shown, no matter how, or even if, it came out. A live vote in the auditorium and trophy ceremony will be the climax of the show.
Additionally the straight 8 team will present the incredible top eight films they screened in May at Cannes Film Festival. With the help of jury members Asif Kapadia, Mark Jenkin, Stuart Brown (BFI) and more, these were selected from 150 entries to their annual open competition.
