I looked up your camera on Google, and it looks like it’s a “Regular 8mm” camera, NOT Super-8. (So the link that Broken gave you was for the wrong kind of film. I have a collection of vintage 8mm movie cameras, and I often film with them as a hobby. Regular 8mm (somtimes also called “Double-run 8”) is a spool type film. It comes on a spool. It’s called “double-run” because you actually run the film through the camera twice. It comes on a 25-foot spool. You run the film through the camera one way, and then flip the spools over and run it through the camera again. You expose both edges of the film. When you send the film to the lab to get developed, they will slit it down the middle and then splice it together, so it ends up being a 50 foot roll. So look at your camera. If it has 2 spools, then it takes Regular 8mm film. I don’t know where you live, but you’ll probably have to order the film online. There are a lot of places where you can get 8mm movie film, but you’ll just have to look
