The 5th Georgetown Super 8 Film Festival is May 8th is unlike most film festivals you may attend. 
I tried to list the films but could not get the &%#$ pdf to work so if you are interested, go to http://www.georgetownsuper8.com/GS8_2010_Program.pdf and you can find at at the details.  There are multiple locations that the films are showing at and are ongoing all day.

Georgetown is the place to be Saturday with the Art Attack, Marni's art showing and this film festival.  This should be a great day to enjoy the neighborhood. Ms T.  

The Georgetown Super 8 Film Festival began in 2006 when local artists asked their neighbors if they would be interested in learning to make super 8 films with the intention of sharing one with their community. A registration form and poster were distributed throughout the neighborhood and participants were asked to only pay for their film and processing. Scholarship rolls were given to youth participants and need-based registrants. Registered filmmakers attended a one-night crash course in super 8 filmmaking; signed up to check out a GS8 camera; and were provided assistance throughout the process. Each participant submitted one un-edited 3-minute roll of super 8 film and the option of including a soundtrack or live music.

The enthusiasm was overwhelming and 33 films were made and screened at a local event facility to an audience of 200. This event continues to grow each year with 37 films submitted in 2007 and 46 films completed in 2008. Last year’s film screening night was held in a warehouse of the Rainier Cold Storage facility to approximately 500 people in attendance and GS8 2009 is expected to have even greater participation.
