The Reelfoot Library is divided into four branches : Books, Sound, Film, and the Department of Editions.
ALL OF THE CONTENT FOR THE LIBRARY IS EITHER CREATED IN HOUSE, OR GRACIOUSLY DONATED BY OUR NETWORK OF CONTRIBUTORS. WE ARE ALWAYS ACCEPTING IDEAS AND MATERIALS FOR EXPANSION OF OUR CATALOG.
For some reason, the autumn always reminds me of my childhood. Backyard football, sweating under layers as the sun goes down too early and you sprint with your chest puffed out toward the tipping point that slides you right on through the new year. We were ready for whatever was next, never yearning for the past. This season feels like a shedding of the old, an exfoliation of the soul. At times we must look to our youth for strength. We must push forward with wet nose naivete, soap and water backbone.

This is the second upload in our ongoing series of found Super 8 home movies. This one stands out because there is some tricky editing going on, along with built in audio, which is somewhat rare for this format.
Analog meet Digital. Digital meet Analog. Ya'll play nice.
Here at The Reelfoot Library, we have been working hard to broaden our reach. During one especially fiery meeting, the board was split and feelings were hurt. But it was eventually agreed that we will expand our collection to include Film.
To begin, we have decided to unveil our collection of found Super 8 home movies. Though we don't know the people in these films, the footage is filled to the brim with a bittersweet nostalgia that any pre-VHS kid can feel. These reels are three-minute gems that give a glimpse into the amatuer filmographer and the commonalities of family life.
We sincerely hope you enjoy these, and if you happen to have any cool Super 8 or 8mm footage that you'd like to share, please get in touch!
