Super 8 and 16mm Films by local film makers
“Celluloid Summer” was an analog film project run by the Dawson City International Short Film Festival for the 2021 Yukon Riverside Arts Festival. Participants were given 4 rolls (12 minutes) of either Super 8 or 16mm film. They filmed their projects on vintage Super8 cameras or 16mm Bolex Cameras. The footage was hand processed in KIACs darkroom and transferred to digital medium for editing. All filming was silent, requiring all sound to be created in post-production. The films premiered at the 2021 Yukon Riverside Arts Festival.
