  Your super 8 films at 24fps, they digitize to 30 fps, in order to get those 24frames to add up to 30, they do what's called a 2:3 pulldown, which adds an extra frame 6 times a second. The extra frame is a merger of two other frames, which is what you're seeing there. In order to keep the motion smooth they merge more than just the two frames. more info:

  It's an analogue process using mirrors from a time before aftereffects and time-stretching was available. Nowadays you can get your stuff digitized to 24fps, then time-stretch those frames digitally. The time-stretch creates in-between frames pixel to pixel, so quality is much higher.
