Bucksport, Maine, USA--Northeast Historic Film will host Home Movie Day on Saturday, October 10 from 12pm-4pm at the Alamo Theatre. Home Movie Day is an annual celebration of amateur film and video held at many different venues worldwide. Home Movie Day events provide the opportunity for individuals and families to see and share their own home movies with an audience of their community on the big screen, if they so choose, and to see their neighbors’ in turn. It’s a chance to discover why these films are important and to learn how best to care for them.

Now is the time to begin locating your family's films and videos. Many people know their family has home movies, but might not know which attic to search. Start now and join us for this exciting opportunity!

Home Movie Day is free and open to the public. We will offer expert evaluation of films brought in by participants, as well as an opportunity to see your very own films in an open screening. Accepted formats for Home Movie Day include: 16mm, 8mm, Super 8mm films, as well as VHS videos. If you have home movies on film or video that you’ve never seen, or haven’t watched since you inherited them from your grandparents–don’t let your films decay!
