straight 8

everything is super 8

2016 results

we don't do outright winners.  winning is seeing your film for the first time together with the audience - especially at cannes film festival

below you can see who made which films and where they screened for straight 8 2016 ...and you can watch the films themselves

many thanks to our stellar jury who in their own words 'had an intense and inspiring jury session' and to all our great partners

first, here's our 2016 teaser which we shared before selections were announced... half a second of each of the 126 entries all in under 90 seconds
