The Rhode Island Historical Society presents Home Movie Day 2008!
Do you have home movies on film you haven’t seen in years? Don’t throw them away – drop them off for Home Movie Day. Don’t have any films of your own? Come on down and watch someone else’s! Local film archivists will be on hand to discuss film preservation, home movies, and amateur films of regional interest. Bring your home movies and/or amateur films on 8mm, super 8mm, and 16mm to be screened, (sorry, no video) on the following drop off days: Wednesday, October 22, Thursday, October 23, and Friday, October 24 from 10 – 5 pm. Drop off location is the Rhode Island Historical Society Library, 121 Hope Street, Providence. Films will be screened on a first-come, first-serve basis.
