Right. I don't mean to suggest that video has superceded film as a
"superior" medium (they just serve different functions), but that teaching
super 8 film has become nearly impossible due to the lack of equipment and
stock. And I was wondering if film teachers have found ways around
these problems.
Has anyone?
