The rise of retro filmmaking and resurgence of Super 8

From the BBC: The resurgence of Super-8.
We know about apps like Instagram and PhotoFunia that can make pictures and film look like they were shot in a different time. But, there's now a huge resurgence in popularity of the original format that inspired that retro look - Super 8 film.
I'm increasingly sceptical about this type of attention-seeking authenticity. It may feel tangible and romantic, but working with film is incredibly difficult and inconvenient. In most cases, this inconvenience only works against the creative vision.
