Home Movie Day October 17, 2009

The seventh annual Boston/Cambridge Home Movie Day

Home Movie Day celebrates amateur film by inviting people to bring their films to be screened. The films you bring need not have been made by you or your family; we also welcome films from the thrift store. If you don't have films to show, come down and watch someone else's! Sometimes people provide commentary for their films, usually there is home film preservation discussion, sometimes there's music, always there is fun. (oh and baked goods!)

We will show film on super 8, 8mm, and 16mm, as well as DVD and VHS (limit 5 minutes, and tapes must be cued ahead of time). Local film archivists will be on hand to discuss home movie preservation.

Each film must be inspected for damage before being run on a projector, so please drop off your film as early as you can. If possible, drop off your film at the HFA office the week prior to the event.

11:00 a.m. Film Check-In (Room B-04)
1:00 p.m. Home Movie Day Screening
