THE SUPER 8 YEARS Director: Annie Ernaux & David Ernaux-Briot 61 mins, France, 2022, Digital, Subtitled Please enable cookies if you want to view this trailer Book cinema tickets Annie Ernaux, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize for literature, recalls, ‘In reviewing our Super 8 films…it occurred to me that they comprised not only a family archive but a testimony to pastimes, lifestyle, and aspirations of a social class in the decade after 1968. I wanted to incorporate these silent images into a story which combined the intimate with the social and with history, to convey the taste and colour of those years.’ With her son’s help, Annie assembles Super 8 footage shot by late ex-husband Philippe Ernaux from 1972 to 1981; through voiceover, the footage becomes an extension of Ernaux’s writing – a new novel in images. A 30 minute recorded Q&A, featuring co-creators Annie Ernaux and her son David Ernaux-Briot, with author Thea Lenarduzzi, will be shown after each screening.
