I House

BRING YOUR 8MM, SUPER 8, 16MM FILMS TO SCREEN

Also live home soundtrack performances by JESSE SPARHAWK and poetry by
FRANK SHERLOCK, ISH KLEIN, C.A. CONRAD


Where can you discover the ecstasy of Christmas morning and the
giddiness of a summer down the shore? Where can your family members
prance across a screen like the movie stars they think they are? Where
do film archivists inspect and project those mysterious film reels
that have been entertaining the dust in your grandmother’s attic? Home
Movie Day!
Home Movie Day is an annual film event that takes place in cities
around the world on a single Saturday. Now in its seventh year, Home
Movie Day provides a unique service to the community: it illuminates
the lives of friends and neighbors through their own films and family
histories. At Home Movie Day, everyone is encouraged to bring their
8mm, super 8mm and/or 16mm home movies. Archivists inspect the reels
and project the films that are in good condition.

Home Movie Day provides a rare opportunity for Philadelphians to see
their movies that have sat in boxes unseen and forgotten for too many
years. Expect to see family holidays, milestones, and vacations, but
don’t be surprised to encounter a child’s masked avenger fantasy film
or a demonstration of an obscure hunting skill. The charm of this
singular event is in watching fashions change, families grow, and
history unfold.
Join us for a day of casual anthropology at the third annual
Philadelphia Home Movie Day on Saturday, October 17. This year’s event
will take place at International House (3701 Chestnut St.) from
noon-4pm. The event is free, but we hope you’ll bring your films and
friends. For more information, please visit the website
