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!

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

Atomic Age Classics Vol 4 : Venereal Disease and You DVD

October 17, 2009
1:00 pmto4:00 pm

Out of the many genres in the AV Geeks Educational Film Archive, venereal disease films are one of the most popular, simply because they provide a revealing glimpse into the secret history of sex in the United States. During the first half of the twentieth century, society was conservative in regards to sexuality, but only on the surface. VD films tell quite a different story – one of a nation struggling with epidemic levels of syphilis and gonorrhea being spread by rampant premarital sex. In the days before penicillin, Americans infected with VD required several months of treatment with ominous substances like arsenic and health officials were faced with the challenge of educating a naive public about the dangers of VD without breaking decency laws. Films include: With These Weapons, Health is a Victory, A Message to Women and Story of D.E. 733 (aka USS VD: Ship of Shame) .
