Too Much Film Fun

Squeaky Wheel, the home of all things fun and artful, is hosting a Global Super-8 Day, calling it the celebration of the home movie format that just won't quit! This is the format that taught baby-boomers how to read lips.
Don't have a working super-8? Don't worry! For the mere sum of $35 for b&w film / $45 for color film, participants will get a one day rental on the camera, a roll of film and a follow-up private hand-processing session with Brian Milbrand in order to transfer of your film to digital video.
Already have a film ready to go? The Squeaky staff asks that you submit your film, preferably five-minutes long or less, and contact them if it's longer. They'll take "home movies", found movies, old movies, and new movies, or any combination thereof.
The final submission date is May 6th, followed by a collective screening of local and international artists on the 9th at 8PM.
"We have a super, Super-8 deal," according to Jax Deluca Program Assistant. "We're being slightly flexible with the date because we're waiting for a few cameras from the Netherlands, but we do have cameras here for rental."
Deluca added that people will be lucky to work with Milbrand, whom she called the "master of super-8".
Call Squeaky Wheel 884.7172 for more details and to reserve your spot for this great yearly event today!

In the March issue of BR, an image was used for the article of the Buffalo Club that led to the introduction to Dr. V. Roger Lalli, and his photo-realistic watercolors of Buffalo.
At 86 years of age, Dr. Lalli is a dynamic and passionate supporter of Buffalo as both the great city it once was, and the new one he sees dawning. He seems particularly well situated to tell his Buffalo story through his artwork, his role as an educator, historian and impassioned supporter of the cit …
