The Police Movie Shot in Super 8mm

As you may well know The Police have announced a reunion tour. The 80s band will be back and, many say, at least as good as ever.

For those interested concert dates were confirmed in Seattle, Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas, New Orleans, St. Louis, Toronto and Montreal.

More interestingly is the video which was shot in Super 8mm and released on DVD. This is significant in that a prominant band uses old school techiniques to shoot a film they could just as easily have shot in movie grade or even high definition.

According to sources:

In January 2006 "Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out" debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. This feature length film documents the formation, subsequent worldwide success and the demise of The Police. Directed, produced, narrated
and filmed in Super 8mm by Stewart from his unique perspective behind the
drums, it has been warmly received. Now out on DVD around the world and
screened at numerous Film Festivals worldwide, it will open in theatres in
Japan on March 31st.

Just goes to show the 8mm and Super 8mm format are alive and well. I haven't seen the video yet, but I think I'll do a search to see what I come up with. If I find a link I'll post. If you have the link or a review please feel free to share it here!
