FLICKER NYC(2001-2011)After 10 years, 25+ events, and hundred of films, Flicker NYC is closing its doors. We want to thank all the filmmakers who have screened at our shows, all the Attack of the 50 Foot Reelers who braved screening a roll of Super 8 sight unseen, our dedicated audience who gathered to witness small gauge film wonders, and to the folks who helped put on the shows, made cookies, donated projectors, and ran our raffles. It was a wonderful 10 years. This short Super 8 film by Johan Kramer describes how we feel better than any words: So long and viva la Super 8, David

"The Atttack of the Fifty-Foot Reels" Friday, October 9, 2009 at 7:30pm - $7 "Attack of the Fifty-Foot Reels" is a show of brand new Super 8 movies-- so new that the filmmakers themselves won't have seen their films until they unspool in front of our audience. Each participating filmmaker has shot a movie specifically for this event on a single fifty-foot roll of Super 8 film, all edits in camera. These rolls are processed two days before the show but not seen until they screen with the audience and attending filmmakers Friday night at the Brooklyn Lyceum. The films are accompanied by music, live dialogue, or live sound effects provided by the filmmaker. I hope you join us for this exciting experiment in Super 8 moviemaking! Super 8 raffle prizes! After party to follow! The Fifty-Foot Filmmakers: Alex Mallis
