Yves Behar has partnered with Kodak to revive the Super 8 camera for the first time since 1982. Analogue's been having a revival as of late. Vinyl is on the rise as the music aficionado's new format of choice and the grainy imagery awarded by analogue photography has brought testament to the fact that newer doesn't always mean better. In fact, analogue has now reached such heights that master of all things design, Yves Behar, has collaborated with Kodak to launch a revived but refashioned edition of their archetypal classic: the Super 8 camera.

Unveiled at 2016’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the camera, still only a prototype, combines the filmmaking functionality and aesthetic of the historic model with all of the essential capacities of modern tech. For example, while the Super 8 uses film, it also includes an LCD screen that lets the user watch their footage while capturing it, and has a rechargeable battery.


By reviving the iconic model, beloved by the likes of Star Wars director JJ Abrams and Batman's Christopher Nolan, Behar and Kodak are ultimately building a bridge between the digital and the analogue, infusing all the brilliance of modern technology within the subtle and texturally rich qualities of film.
