Home Movie Day

Oct 19, 2013

Free event!

10am - 1pm

Celebrate amateur filmmaking on Home Movie Day, as individuals and families share their own homemade movies with a community audience. It's a chance to discover why it's important to care about these films and learn how best to care for them. Bring your Super 8, 8mm and 16mm films to share, or just come to witness the vast array of amazing work! Film archivists will inspect films for damage as professional projectionists screen them in pristine cinema conditions. Home Movie Day runs 10am - 1pm.

“I would urge all of those in the Seattle area and around the country to go their local Home Movie Day celebration. This is a day for us to come together as a nation and watch how we’ve lived through every day of our shared history.” —Ken Burns
 
"There's no such thing as a bad home movie. These mini-underground opuses are revealing, scary, joyous, always flawed, filled with accidental art and shout out from attics and closets all over the world to be seen again. Home Movie Day is an orgy of self-discovery, a chance for family memories to suddenly become show business. If you've got one, whip it out and show it now." —John Waters
