Dekate Mousa is going around with the Braun 'Nizo 136 XL', that's the name of the vintage Super 8 film camera scored on eBay. The goal: an analogue aftermovie of the Intro, to show "that it is still possible to make a film nowadays with techniques from many years ago", says Jeroen de Croock, photo and videographer and board member of Dekate Mousa. And yes, that immediately led to some confused looks on Monday, he says laughing.

Moreover, according to him, several members of the association are still a big fan of analogue techniques, especially for photography. "It just has something", De Croock explains. And that is, in addition to charm (like that rattling film sound), also a price tag; especially the required film rolls are costly. For the Intro Dekate Mousa has fifteen meters of film strip at his disposal, which costs 36 euros and is good for a mere three and a half minutes of visual material. The expectation is that about a minute of that will be shown in the aftermovie.

"That means you are pretty aware of what you are going to shoot and how. And that you make a good planning beforehand", says De Croock. In fact, recordings cannot be duplicated (without wasting the necessary precious centimeters of film roll) and they cannot be checked in the meantime. “And that makes it exciting”, he acknowledges. Especially the functioning of the camera is of concern. “We have carefully checked the thing beforehand, but something can always go wrong somewhere electronically.”

Anyone who, like us, is already looking forward to this nostalgic video review, must also have some patience - the development and digitization of Super 8 is a time-consuming and specialized job, for which external expertise is used as well. The deadline of October 4th therefore sounds more generous than it really is. That day Dekate Mousa shows the film 'James Klont - Butter, Cheese and Eggs'; made in the late 1960s by former members of the association, scanned, digitized and optimized by members of today. There is also an exhibition about techniques of then and now, where the Intro aftermovie will be shown as well.
