The Extension
For the Breedbeeld Short Film Festival 2024, fifteen filmmakers were given a camera, a roll of super 8 film and carte blanche to do whatever they wanted with it. They shot and edited their films right into the camera, filming all the scenes chronologically one after the other and timing them well. This was the submission of Wouter De Paepe.
