The film's director Remy Batteault will be joining Straight 8 for a Q&A after the screening.

This is the story of Roger, a former pork butcher, who worked for 40 years in the beautiful town of  Beaune in Burgundy. Since he retired he has started a new life as a filmmaker… Roger films only on Super 8. Insects, birds, everything he can find in the countryside are his favorite subjects. His short films have won prizes all over the world, some of them have been shown during the Cannes Film Festival. Josette, his wife and number one fan, happens to work for him from time to time. And you may have guessed, Roger and Josette are my parents.

STRAIGHT 8 (est 1999) champions grassroots filmmaking on celluloid. It challenges entrants from around the world to shoot from the hip, all on one cartridge with only in-camera editing. The first time successful entrants see even their own work is at the world premiere.
