Join ENTRE for their annual Home Movie Day celebration on Saturday October 17th from 1-5PM!
This year, ENTRE will host a Personal Archives 101 workshop, sharing tips and resources for starting your own personal archive. Attendees will leave with skills on how to organize their personal collections, and learn how they can use ENTRE’s free resources to digitally preserve these important materials. We will also be screening select home movies from ENTRE’s collection, and play a few rounds of A/V Lotería!
We welcome the public to bring their own VHS, miniDV, Hi8, 16mm, Super8, and Regular 8mm home movies for inspection and assessment.
As always, light refreshments will be provided. This is a free, family-friendly, all ages event!

WHAT IS HOME MOVIE DAY (HMD)?
ENTRE’s favorite holiday, DUH! HMD is an annual celebration of amateur films and filmmaking, where people share their home movies and uplift the lived histories that make this region the special place it is.
