Answer 1

Try this site. Never used them but they say they've got 8mm film.

Answer 2

First you need to google 8mm film and film processing. If you find any usable results, here is the skinny. Your camera is likely an 8mm regular roll. That is the film width is 16mm. You shot the film, when the counter indicates your at the end, You open the camera and place the film on to the empty the spool in the take up position. Then after thread the film on to the empty spool, you close the camera and expose the second half. After the second half is run through the camera, you open the camera and take the film to the processor (if you can find one these days and have it processed. BUT IN YOUR CASE, it would be best to run the film through the camera with your hand over the lens and then remove the film. NOTE: many cameras of this type had a take-up spool labeled to turn over. This spool always stays with the camera, so you don't make a mistake and run the film through the camera twice (thereby ruining the film by double exposing it). If you find a place that has the ability to process your film. This is what happens. Your film is developed but it is still about 16mm wide. The process people then slit the film in half and splice the two 25 foot ends together giving you a 50 foot roll to project. This is the reason why I had you turn the film over and shoot the other side. I don't hold out much luck for your film to be processed but as things happen you just may have some shots of people who are no longer with us and thereby be very valueable to you! Good Luck

Answer 3

don't forget to ask where you can process the film you buy for it. and last, do you have a projector?
