Samples of 8mm Film and Super 8 Film

Updated: Sep 7, 2023


8mm and Super 8 film are two popular formats of motion picture film used for amateur filmmaking and home movies. These formats were widely used in the mid to late 20th century before the advent of digital video.

  • Standard 8mm Film (Regular 8mm): This format was introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1932 as an affordable alternative to 16mm film for amateur filmmakers. Standard 8mm film has a width of 8mm and is typically loaded into a camera in a roll that contains 25 feet of film. After shooting one side of the film, the user would need to flip the roll to expose the other side.

  • Super 8mm: Super 8 was introduced by Kodak in 1965 as an improved version of 8mm film. It quickly became popular for home movies and amateur filmmaking due to its ease of use and higher quality compared to Standard 8mm.
