Home Movie Day

Free Admission

Home Movie Day is an event celebrated around the world that lets you see and share your own home movies with an audience of your community. It's a chance to discover why it's important to care about and how to care for these precious films.

Bring your super 8, 8mm, and 16mm films to share, or just come to witness the vast array of fascinating amateur movies! Film archivists inspect films for damage and professional projectionists screen them in pristine cinema conditions. VHS and DVD formats also welcome - please cue ahead of time and limit video clips to 5 minutes.

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. For more information about Home Movie Day and locations around the country, visit the Home Movie Day Website.
