You have to find you nearest Kodak dealer. They will probably have to order it for you. If you want it with sound, expect to pay alot more, and the sound quality isn't great. Also, black and white film is easy to get. Color on the other hand is alot harder. Kodak stopped making several types of it's color film. You could buy any surplus stock they have of it, but I doubt you will be able to get it in mass quantities. Good Luck.

film availability depends on the exact format. is it a super8 is is it just 8mm. if it's the later, good luck. not even kodak makes that anymore. sorry. i feel your pain though. i have a beautiful 16mm cartridge load bell and howell. they don't make that film anymore either. good luck anyway, maybe you still can dig some up.
