Home Movies to be Shown at Images Cinema
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — As part of its ongoing celebration of its 100th anniversary, Images Cinema will participate in the 14th annual Home Movie Day, an international event coordinated by the Center for Home Movies, on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 4:30 p.m.
People can bring their films to Images Cinema on Oct. 15 or prior to the event. Working in collaboration with Emmy Award-winning archival researcher/archival producer Rich Remsberg, organizers will inspect the films and, if they are in acceptable condition, project them on the big screen.
Supported formats will include 16mm, 8mm and super 8. Afterwards, films will be returned to their owners or can be left with the theater, which will in turn donate them to an appropriate film archive.
"Movies can be such an important part of people's personal histories," said Executive Director Doug Jones. "We see that in their relationship with Images as a theater, and we see it in the memories they themselves chose to capture on film and videotape
"From vacations to birthday parties, town events to historical moments, there are real treasures to be found in the back of closets and hidden away up in attics."
Discussion about the films and what's captured on them will be open and encouraged. Admission is free.
