i need some help buying film for my camera..
and i also need to know if i have to load the camera in a dark place so the film isn't affected (same with unloading)
I am so sympathetic to you. I had the exact same problem extremely recently. Sorry i can't be of more help. Good luck with working this issue out.

Yes it has to be loaded in darkness, although some photographers use a "changing bag" which is a lightproof bag. When the film is done, the spools are flipped over and reversed so the film can be exposed on the other side. "8 mm" home movie film is actually 16mm film that runs through the camera twice. The processing lab slits the film down the center to make it 8mm size and splices the ends together to make one continuous spool.
nobody sells this anymore. you can buy 16mm film double perf (perf on both edges) film in 100 foot spools. you would have to get spare camera size spools and cut down to 25 foot length for your camera. the other bad news is color reversal film in 16 mm is not available either, so you would not be able to project the results without getting a print made, or else shoot B/W. B/W may be the way to go as you could process it yourself.
