“San
Francisco Home Movie Day”
Film Clinic and Screenings
"There's no such thing as a bad home movie. These mini-underground opuses
are revealing, scary, joyous, always flawed, filled with accidental art and
shout out from attics and closets all over the world to be seen again. Home
Movie Day is an orgy of self-discovery, a chance for family memories to suddenly
become show business. If you've got one, whip it out and show it now."-John
Waters

ABOUT
HOME MOVIE DAY
The first annual Home Movie Day, held in August 2003 celebrated the celluloid
history of families and communities across the United States and around the
world. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom proclaimed it San Francisco Home Movie
Day as other events took place worldwide. It was a major international success
with hundreds of attendees across the United States and the world. Home Movie
Day events received major press coverage in the New York Times, The Los Angeles
Times, The San Francisco Chronicle and NPR’s “All Things Considered”
radio program. The success has spawned a DVD “Living Room Cinema: Films
From Home Movie Day” and the Center For Home Movies and rare finds of
lost family films. This year promises to be even more widely received.
Happy Birthday!
