The celebration of Home Movie Day at Duke University is previewed in a August 7 article posted to the website of the Duke Office of News & Communication. The article, titled “Get Out Your Old Films,” features comments from host Karen Glynn and volunteer Arani Roy
“Strangers comment on each others’ films, ask questions in the dark, and ooh and ahh over the visual record of family and community life flickering across the screen,” Glynn said. “The act of viewing home movies for four hours on a hot August afternoon once a year generates community.”
