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
