Regular8 is 16mm Film
W8 wa 16mm
‘I found an old can of 8mm films!’ ‘It’s W8 (regular 8). I want to watch it!’ ‘But the projector is broken, it won’t work.’ ‘I still want to watch it!!’ ‘I’ve got it. If you put these two films side by side, they will be a 16mm film.’ Unbelievable experimental film with humour that transcends the boundaries of the film format.
