Thanks to amazing home movie footage donated to CAAM’s Memories to Light initiative by local Bay Area painter/artist Hugo Kobayashi, you can see for yourself how mochi is made.
Participants and audience members gathered in the theater, a converted church with pews and a functioning pipe organ to watch the films as they were originally intended to be shown—through a film projector and onto a white screen.
Home Movie Day is a celebration of amateur films and filmmaking, providing an opportunity for individuals and families to see and share their own home movies with an audience of their community, and to see their neighbors’ in turn.
