“In re-viewing our Super-8 films, shot between 1972 and 1981, it occurred to me that they comprised not only a family archive but a testimony to the pastimes, lifestyle and aspirations of a social class in the decade after 1968." - Annie Ernaux

Presented at the Directors' Fortnight of the Cannes Film Festival last spring, The Super-8 years is a first film co-directed by Annie Ernaux and her son David Ernaux-Briot. Through this autobiographical fragment that crosses intimacy and social history, the French writer tells us about the most decisive decade of her life, the one that made her one of the greatest feminist voices in literature.
