8mm

8mm is a motion picture film format wherein each frame of the film is eight millimeters[?] wide. It exists in two versions: regular 8mm and Super 8, a slightly larger format that eventually became the prevalent version of the medium. Many independent filmmakers[?] such as Derek Jarman have made extensive use of 8mm film with remarkable results.

8mm was originally a consumer format film, but has become more of a format for film students who wish to learn the basics of shooting film.

There is also an American film entitled 8mm[?] about a private detective verifying the existence of a snuff movie.
