Join us Saturday, October 17th at Geisel Library in the Seuss Room at UCSD in La Jolla from 2:00 to 5:00pm. Film drop-off begins at 1:00pm. A FREE event!
For the sixth year in a row, film lovers and archivists around the world will get out of the vaults to help the public learn about, enjoy, and rescue films forgotten with the advent of home video. Home Movie Day shows how home movies offer a unique view of decades past, and are an essential part of personal, community, and cultural history.
Bring your
Super-8, 8mm &
16mm reels (the ones gathering dust in your garage!) and we will put them on the screen for all to enjoy, along with fascinating home movies from the UCSD Film & Video collection.
San Diego Home Movie Day is free and open to the public. We will offer assessment of older films, information about how to care for family films, delicious snacks and continuous screenings of home movies brought by participants like you! Archivists will show examples of historic amateur films preserved in our collections, and preservation specialists will explain why transferring films to video or digital media does not mean these new copies will last forever.
