The Melbourne Super 8 Film Group was an independent co-operative formed in November 1985 by Bill Mousoulis and a small group of other dedicated filmmakers, most of whom were already associated with either the RMIT Super-8 Club or the Fringe Film and Video Group. It ran until December 2001, during which time it held regular screenings, published a monthly newsletter, held an annual festival, and participated in the MIFF. The newsletter issues offered here are as follows:
128 Sept. 1997; 129 Oct. 1997; 135 May 1998; 139 Sept. 1998; 140 Oct. 1998; 141 Nov. 1998; 142 Dec. 1998; 143 Feb. 1999; 144 March 1999; 145 April 1999; 146 May 1999; 147 June 1999; 148 July 1999; 149 Aug. 1999; 150 Sept. 1999; 151 Oct. 1999; 153 Oct. 1999; 154 Feb. 2000; 158 June 2000; 160 Aug. 2000; 161 Sept. 2000; 163 Nov. 2000; 164 Dec. 2000; 165 Feb./March 2001.
