What is HOME MOVIE DAY?
This 8/16 is the first worldwide event organized by amateur film lovers to celebrate those wonderful home movies shot on celluloid. Whether on 8mm, Super-8 or 16mm (get it? 8/16?) the amateur film heritage of our homes, hometowns and travels is rich – and fun, funny, funky. We’ll project films on a screen for all to see. See rare films shot all over the world throughout the mid 20th century.

What Can I Do?
Bring in your 8 and 16mm films (no video, please). Whether it’s stuff you found in your grandparents’ attic or bought at a flea market, we will show it. In addition to watching these films, you’ll get advice about how to take care of them.

Why HOME MOVIE DAY?
Home movies are the essential record of our past. HOME MOVIE DAY screenings will happen in communities across the globe, each focusing on the local histories revealed there. Columbia’s events will occur simultaneously with those in Toronto and Tokyo, Seattle and Miami, Portland, Maine and Portland, Oregon. Learn about the simple pleasures of small films. Don't throw away those films! Your originals can outlast video. Devotees will be on hand to help you care for your celluloid.
