The Last Super 8 Film was shot in Super 8mm format over a period of 30 years. From the very beginning, some parts were shot as films, while most parts are private recordings. As the author grew and matured from an adolescent to a middle-aged man, so did the content and forms of his films. We can see various types such as home-videos and performances, as well as clean-cut documentary reflections on life. The Last Super 8 Film is a holy personal betrayal, in which he cinematographically establishes himself through the deadly embrace of memories and those forgotten, delving into the loss of mental territory which never existed, travelling through oblivion as the homeland of consciousness.
