Home Movie Day
DON’T THROW YOUR FILMS AWAY; BRING THEM TO HOME MOVIE DAY!
“Saving our film heritage should not be limited only to commercially produced films. Home movies do not just capture the important private moments of our family’s lives, but they are historical and cultural documents as well. Home Movie Day is a celebration of these films and the people who shot them. I urge anyone with an interest in learning more about how to care for and preserve their own personal memories to join in the festivities being offered in their community…”— Martin Scorsese
This year sees the 21st anniversary of Home Movie Day and we’ll be celebrating in true archive film style! This event is free, open to the public, and promises a day filled with nostalgia, education, and camaraderie.
Film archivists will take time out of the vaults to help the public enjoy and save their home movies. Home Movie Day shows how home movies on 8mm, Super8, 9.5mm and 16mm offer a unique view of past life in London and of family history.
It’s a family-friendly event, and everyone is welcome to attend. But remember, you don’t need to bring a film to participate fully in the day’s activities!
Details
Join us on October 20, 2024, from 10.30 to 16.00 for an unforgettable experience. Entry is absolutely free, and to make the day even sweeter, tea and cake will be available for all attendees.
Venue: The Cinema Museum
London’s Cinema Museum is devoted to keeping alive the spirit of cinema from the days before the multiplex. Set in historic surroundings in Kennington, close to the Elephant & Castle, The Cinema Museum houses a unique collection of artefacts, memorabilia and equipment that preserves the history and grandeur of cinema from the 1890s to the present day.
The Cinema Museum will be showcasing a series of events and screenings under The Lambeth Fringe.
Please note this is an ‘umbrella venue’ -the shows have already been programmed as part of the Lambeth Fringe and this space is therefore not available for artists to apply to.
