Connections, a 2008 straight 8 film by Steve Oram & Nick Lear
Entries are now open for this year's straight 8 competition. For those of you not in the know, straight 8 invites filmmakers to make a film on a single cartridge of super 8 film and enter it undeveloped and unedited to the competition (with an original soundtrack). Then you just sit back and wait to discover if anything will have come out...

This year's straight 8 is in conjunction with Rushes and the best entries to the competition from those working in advertising will be screened at the Cannes Advertising Festival in June, with more films also shown at the Rushes Soho Shorts Festival in July. Rushes will also be creating digital transfers of each film so they can be compiled onto a straight 8 DVD.
