Join us to celebrate home movies! Call up Grandma, and search out your family’s home movies and bring an 8mm, Super8 or 16mm home movie (sorry, no video or slides) to our Home Movie Day event on October 17th to see it projected. Or just show up, watch the films of others, play Home Movie Day Bingo and win valuable prizes! It’s not just historically significant – it’s fun!
WHY?
Because they will happen in communities across the globe, HOME MOVIE DAY events and screenings can focus on local and family histories, taking us back to a time when Main Street was bustling and the beehive hair-do was all the rage, with images of people we may know or resemble. Home movies are the essential record of our past, and they are among the most authoritative documents of times gone by. Sponsored by NCSU Film Program, NC State Archive and A/V Geeks. FREE!
1-4pm, Saturday, Oct 17th, North Carolina State Archives Auditorium, 109 East Jones Street, Raleigh NC 27601

Wacky films from our much scapegoated northern neighbor.
School films that feature clowns or cavemen. Films included – The Clowns, How the First Letter Was Written, Toothache of a Clown, Standing Up For Yourself, Pirro and the Alarm Clock, Drug Effects, Circus Day. 
With the passing of pantomime auteur Marcel Marceau, the A/V Geeks have found some films that show his genius and, in contrast, films that demonstrate why mimes are so despised today. Films include: Guessing Game, The Box, Language Of The Heart, Affective Learning, Safe Play – Danger Places and more.
