Home Movie Day is Back!

Join CAAM and our partners from the film archive community for Home Movie Day 2015 on Saturday, December 12 at the Internet Archive in San Francisco, CA.

The event is free, with a suggested donation at the door.

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. It’s a chance to discover why these films are important — and learn how best to care for them.
