Chicago Film Archives and the Chicago Film Society present CHICAGO HOME MOVIE DAY at the Chicago History Museum — with live accompaniment from pianist David Drazin!
Chicago Home Movie Day is dedicated to YOUR home movies. From 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM, archivists and projectionists will be on hand to inspect and project a selection of YOUR celluloid home movies in 16mm, 8mm, or Super 8. Don’t have any films to share? Feel free to just sit back and enjoy the show.
Visit our website for full details: https://www.chicagofilmarchives.org/calendar/event/home-movie-day-2025/

For those bringing films:
– We aim to project at least one reel (or at least 10 minutes, if it’s an extra-long reel) from each person who brings films to Home Movie Day, if the condition of the film allows it. Come prepared to tell us which reel or reels you’d most like to see on screen.
– Staff from Chicago Film Archives and Chicago Film Society will answer your questions about the physical condition of your films and options for storing, preserving, and digitizing them.
– Questions? You can contact CFA at at (312) 243-1808 or email [email protected]
