Chicago Home Movie Day 2022
2022-10-08 11:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | Chicago History Museum, 1601 N Clark St, Chicago, IL, 60614, United States
DATE: Saturday, October 8, 2022
TIME: 11 AM to 3 PM
WHERE: Chicago History Museum, 1601 N Clark St
Once again, Chicago Film Archives and the Chicago Film Society join forces to present CHICAGO HOME MOVIE DAY at the Chicago History Museum.
Home movies provide invaluable records of our families and our communities: they document vanished storefronts, questionable fashions, adorable pets, long-departed loved ones, and neighborhoods-in-transition. Many Chicagoans still possess these old reels, passed down from generation to generation, but lack the projection equipment to view them properly and safely. That’s where Home Movie Day comes in: you bring the films (16mm, 8mm and/or Super 8mm), and we inspect them, project them, and offer tips on storage, preservation, and digitization – all free of charge.
Chicago Home Movie Day is dedicated to YOUR home movies. From 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM, archivists and projectionists will inspect and project any celluloid home movies that walk in the door. We encourage providers of these gems to introduce their films to an eager HMD audience. Don’t have any films? Feel free to just sit back and enjoy the show.
Questions? Contact us at at (312) 243-1808 or email info@chicagofilmarchives.org

2022-10-15 13:00 - 18:30 (Europe/Paris) | Lichtspiel / Kinemathek Bern, Sandrainstrasse 3, Bern, Switzerland
In 1922, the Pathé company in France launched the 9.5mm substandard film system and with it the first successful home cinema. Just one year later, the substandard film system was supplemented with a 9.5 mm film camera and the corresponding raw film material. This made filming more affordable for private individuals in the early 1920s. For the 100th anniversary, we are dedicating Home Movie Day to this special format. But of course you can also come to us with any other film format. We will be happy to advise you on storing, handling and securing your amateur and family films. We will round off the Home Movie Day with a 9.5mm amateur film programme, supplemented with films brought in by the audience.

9 1/2
100 years
6 continents
22 film archives and collections
A montage film featuring 9.5mm amateur films from around the globe.
In 1922, thanks to the Pathé company, 9.5mm film was born in France. It was the first film format designed for home-made cinema. The movies therefore began to come out of the theatrical space and enter directly into the homes of spectators, transforming them into operators, directors and experimenters. From Japan to New Zealand, from Brazil to Chile, from Congo to Canada, the amateur camera became the medium to capture family moments, scenic travel episodes and the nuances of everyday life over time.
Constructed in three movements – travelogues, interactions with loved ones and experiments – 9 1/2 is a visual symphony of everyday life, through 9.5mm footage shot by amateurs from all over the world.
The film celebrates the centenary of the Pathé Baby film gauge, projector and camera, and will be screened during a year-long theatrical world tour from October 2022 until September 2023.

Home Movie Day / MalatestaShort Film Festival
2022-10-30 10:00 - 18:00 (Europe/Rome) | Cesena (Fc) Biblioteca Malatestiana, Piazza Maurizio Bufalini, , Italy, Cesena, FC, 47521, Italy
The MalatestaShort Film Festival, in its 6th edition called “Cinema Bazàr”, in collaboration with the association Re-framing home movies and FAI (the National Trust for Italy), joins the celebrations for the international day of amateur films and filmmaking. There is going to be a special initiative in Cesena involving screenings, guided tours, and most importantly research on home movies and archive films from Cesena.
The call: bring us your home movies and archive films about our territory!
Do you have old films, home movies in the attic, old videos about Cesena and its territory, and more? Do you have a small archive of home movies (even just one film)?
Bring your 8mm, Super 8, 16mm, 9.5mm Pathé baby (and also mini dv, vhs, Hi8) films in order to assess their state of conservation, watch them together or simply ask us how to digitize them.
When?
Sunday, October 30, in Cesena, Biblioteca Malatestiana (Malatestiana Library)
If you have any questions, if you would like to let us know which films you have or simply tell us that you will be there, contact us at:
malatestashort@gmail.com
www.malatestashortfilmfestival.com
We are going to screen some of the movies brought by you during the day, together with selected films that have already been digitized by the associations partners of the initiative, to demonstrate how these ephemeral fragments can be fundamental to learn and reconstruct the way people used to live, how some places looked before their transformation, and how the way we relate to others or the way we represent ourselves in society have changed.
The day is going to end with the screenings of the “Archive Films”, category in competition at the 6th edition of MalatestaShort Film Festival. It is going to be possible to participate in guided tours of the complex of San Francesco and the Biblioteca Malatestiana, curated by FAI.
