About this Event
In celebration of Home Movie Day, The Onyx Downtown, the Nevada City Film Festival, and a group of professional film archivists will host a free event on Saturday, September 28 at the historic Nevada Theatre.
Activities begin at 12pm with a workshop on the preservation and care of classic film formats including 8mm and 16mm, following the workshop attendees will get the opportunity to volunteer with inspections and projection, and at 4pm the community is invited to attend a screening of the films submitted by the community. In the evening a special program featuring home movies and experimental films from the California archives will be screened. All for free.
Folks interested in having their movies screened can drop off their Super 8mm, Regular 8mm, 16mm, DVDs, or digital files in advance to The Onyx Theatre, 107 Argall Way, Nevada City during business hours, before Monday, September 23rd.
For community members outside of the county, home movies can be submitted digitally at www.nevadacityfilmfestival.com/homemovies. Please remember to complete this submission form.
If you miss the early drop off window, feel free to bring your films by the Nevada Theatre on Home Movie Day from 2pm-4pm so they can be inspected and prepped in advance for the open screening. We will return all films at the end of the screening.
Individuals interested in volunteering and learning about home movie preservation and small-gauge film handling, should email [email protected].
