HOME MOVIE DAY Saturday, September 28th 2024 at The Nevada Theatre Nevada City

WHAT’S Happening?

In celebration of Home Movie Day, The Onyx Downtown at the Nevada Theatre, the Nevada City Film Festival, and a group of professional film archivists will host a free local community event on Saturday, September 28th at the historic Nevada Theatre.

Activities begin at noon with a workshop on the preservation and care of classic film formats including 8mm and 16mm, followed by a screening of films submitted by the community at 4pm and a special program of home movies and experimental films at 7pm.

Hold on to your original reels and tapes!

Film and magnetic media are fragile formats but can last forever if you care for them.

Home Movie Day is an opportunity to share your home movie memories, and learn how to digitize and preserve them for generations to come. We welcome and treasure your stories!
