Happy Home Movie Day!
Saturday, October 21st is the “official” HMD date for 2023, but like last year we welcome events throughout October and beyond – any day can be Home Movie Day! As many events have shifted back to being in-person, we’ve implemented a new calendar and submission form, all of which can be found at our About Home Movie Day page, along with lots of info about the history of global Home Movie Day and how to host your own. See you over there, and at the movies!
Join ENTRE Film Center & Regional Archive in celebrating Home Movie Day on Saturday, October 15, 2022 from 2-6 PM at the McAllen Creative Incubator!
ENTRE members and volunteers will inspect and screen home movies brought to us by the community. We are able to process VHS and miniDV tapes along with 16mm and 8mm films. If you have media in other formats, especially Super8 and DV, you are welcome to bring them to the event to be evaluated. We will provide resources on how to care for your home movies, where to have them transferred, and provide information about how to become donors to our RGV home movie collection. Donors retain ownership of their media and exhibition/access details are discussed on a case-by-case basis.
In 2021, we launched Boca Chica, Corazón Grande, a community archival project focused on collecting and documenting the history and geography of Boca Chica Beach. We are seeking photographs and home movies that feature Boca Chica Beach, so if you have any in your home, this would be a wonderful opportunity to have the evaluated and digitized for this ongoing project!
Throughout the day, we will be screening the home movies brought in by the community (5 minutes max for tape media) which will coincide with Home Movie Day bingo!
This event is free and open to the public. For additional information or questions, please email info@entrefilmcenter.org
