Please join us for Rochester’s International Home Movie Day, October 18th, 2008

Don’t throw your films away! Instead, bring them to the sixth annual International Home Movie Day. Co-sponsored this year by George Eastman House and Visual Studies Workshop, Home Movie Day is an international event taking place at the same time in cities across the U.S. and the world, dedicated to the viewing and the preservation of home movies shot on film. Though video and digital formats now dominate the market, none of these formats have the quality or longevity of the super-8, 8mm, and 16mm films you may have lying forgotten in your closets, attic, or basement. Home Movie Day is now celebrated in almost all fifty states, and internationally in Japan, The UK, Wales, and Mexico.

Rochester’s Home Movie Day will take place at Visual Studies Workshop on Saturday, October 18th. Screenings will be 6pm – 9pm. Early film drop-off is highly encouraged! Call for times.

Home Movie Day is a free event, and donations are accepted.
