Flicker was started in the late 80s by Angie Grass and Lance
Bangs in Athens, Georgia. Angie still runs the Flicker Festival
in Athens. In the early 90s, the second Flicker was founded in
Chapel Hill, North Carolina by Norwood Cheek who currently
runs Flicker Los Angeles. Since then, Flickers across the world
have popped up all the way from Los Angeles to Prague, and everywhere
in between.
Flicker is a completely non-commercial, grass-roots entity perpetuated
by Super-8 filmmakers and filmgoers. There are never any entry
fees to submit films to Flicker (though there are some regulations),
and some festivals offer modest film grants to help filmmakers
produce their high concept, no-budget masterpiece.
This website was created to catalog some of the many memorable
films that have graced the Flicker screens over the years. In
the spirit of Flicker, this website was also produced with the
indie attitude of high concept, no-budget: $35 to be exact.
