    The Super-8 Club was started by volunteers at ATA to
    create a home for Super-8 filmmaking in the Bay Area.
    Meetings will be held on the first Tuesday of the
    month at 7:30 PM. 
     
    The Super 8 Club invites filmmakers to experiment with and present new ways of working with a film medium that is itself a signifier to the past.
    Super-8 to video transfer is available during club hours and by arrangement for a very affordable rate.
