What Home Movie Day is: We want to show your 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm! Lots of you have them, the films kick around your house or your aunt's house, the accompanying projector is broken or lost. Maybe no one even remembers what family outing or year it's from. Or that home movie of the fairy costume barbecue party you found at an estate sale. Let's watch 'em!
Questions:Reach Molly: newhavenhomemovieday at gmail.com or contact me via this page.
Might you ask: Why would anyone want to see my home movies? Or why would I want to see anyone else's home movies?

Home Movie Day is a worldwide celebration of amateur films and filmmaking. Home Movie Day is an annual event held in cities all over the world.
We will have projectors of all kinds set up to watch your home movies. Whether they're yours or found, bring them in. Whether you have a film or not, come in. It will be an afternoon of watching films, hanging out, and learning about amateur films.
Home Movie Day provides an opportunity for individuals and families to learn more about their home movies, how to care for films, and how home movies have helped capture 20th century history.
The people behind this are archivists, filmmakers, librarians, film enthusiasts, and the always curious. If you are interested in volunteering, please write newhavenhomemovieday at gmail.com. Assistance is always appreciated.
