Home Movie Day is a celebration of amateur films and filmmaking held annually at venues worldwide. Home Movie Day events provide the opportunity for individuals and families to see and share their own home movies with an audience of their community. It’s a chance to discover why these films are important and to learn how best to care for them.
We will be projecting 8mm, Super-8mm, 9.5mm and 16mm films. If you would like to see your film up on the ATA screen, bring it early, during the inspection period from 1pm to 2pm. Screenings will begin at 1:30pm and will be followed by a special tribute to long-time Home Movie Day host, Stephen Parr of Oddball Films and the San Francisco Media Archive.
