Chicago Home Movie Day
Chicago Film Archives and the Chicago Film Society present CHICAGO HOME MOVIE DAY at the Chicago History Museum — with live accompaniment from pianist David Drazin!
Home movies provide invaluable records of our families and our communities: they document vanished storefronts, questionable fashions, adorable pets, long-departed loved ones, and neighborhoods-in-transition. Many Chicagoans still possess these old reels, passed down from generation to generation, but lack the projection equipment to view them properly and safely.
That’s where Home Movie Day comes in: you bring the films (16mm, 8mm and/or Super 8mm), and we inspect them, project them, and offer tips on storage, preservation, and digitization – all free of charge.
Chicago Home Movie Day is dedicated to YOUR home movies. From 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM, archivists and projectionists will be on hand to inspect and project a selection of YOUR celluloid home movies in 16mm, 8mm, or Super 8. Owners of these gems are encouraged to introduce their films to an eager HMD audience. Don’t have any films to share? Feel free to just sit back and enjoy the show.
