Home Movie Day

Screening on Film
Free Admission

For more than a decade, film archivists and the public have been convening in small spaces all over the globe and gathering around flickering images of times of yore. Grandmothers and babies, now since gone or grown, smile and wave to the camera-person as new audiences watch them through the magical time machine of cinema. Vacations! Parties! Amateur theatricals! There is always something interesting and funny to watch. We hope you will join us for this year's event. For more information on Home Movie Day, visit the Center for Home Movies website.

Formats accepted: 8mm, super 8, 16mm, VHS, DVD, digital files (playable via laptop) Films will be inspected by archivists for damage prior to projection, so we encourage you to drop-off your films in the days before the event at the Harvard Film Archive offices.
