Día de las Películas Familiares
2020-11-20 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires) | Museo del Cine de Buenos Aires, Caffarena 59, Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, 1428, Argentina
Día de las Películas Familiares (online).
Desde hace más de quince años el Día de las Películas Familiares se festeja en todo el mundo. Se trata de una proyección de películas amateur, traídas por el público, en la que todos participan activamente en el ejercicio de reconocer años, lugares, eventos e infinidad de rostros conocidos y ajenos. De alguna manera es un recorrido por la vida doméstica a lo largo del siglo XX, donde se despliega un universo fascinante de pequeñas historias cotidianas que nos permiten recordar y reconocernos a través de esas imágenes cercanas y extrañas a la vez que vienen del pasado, ese país siempre un poco extranjero. Este año realizaremos una edición online del evento, donde vamos a proyectar una selección de algunos de los mejores films que pasaron por el Día de las Películas Familiares a lo largo del tiempo, junto a copias que se mantienen aún casi inéditas. Las proyecciones irán, como es habitual, con una charla respecto a los films y se brindarán sencillas recomendaciones para su preservación a cargo de los especialistas del Museo del Cine de Buenos Aires.
Home Movie Day
For more than fifteen years the Home Movie Day has been celebrated around the world. It is a projection of amateur films, brought by the public, in which everyone actively participates in the exercise of recognizing years, places, events and countless familiar and foreign faces. In some ways it is a journey through domestic life throughout the 20th century, where a fascinating universe of small daily stories unfolds allowing us to remember and recognize ourselves through those familiar and strange images that come from the past, that foreign country. This year we will carry out an online edition of the event, where we will screen a selection of some of the best films that have passed through Home Movie Day over time, along with copies that remain almost unseen. The screenings will go, as usual, with a talk about the films itselfs and simple recommendations for their preservation will be given by specialists from the Museo del Cine de Buenos Aires.

Home Movie Day Perú
2020-12-07 00:00 - 2021-01-03 23:30 (America/Lima) | Home Movie Day Peru, Lima, Peru
Proyecto Cine Amateur Peruano, a website centered on the preservation of 16mm, 8mm and Super 8 films from Perú, has launched to the world at www.cineamateurperuano.org. The project aims to spread knowledge on Peruvian home movies and other non-professional film expressions, so these neglected artifacts are noticed by families and cared for appropriately.
The project invites individuals who own amateur Peruvian films to register these through an online form, so the information provided will be used to explore further partnerships and grants for digitization. In exchange, families will be sent an easy preservation guide for storing audiovisual materials at home.
In collaboration with Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola, forty-two home movies from Perú were recently digitized in a Filmfabriek scanner at 2K resolution. These films are part of the private collection Cine Íntimo from Efraín Bedoya, director of MUTA Film Festival. Furthermore, one of the works shot in Super-8 stock from the amateur photographer and filmmaker Alberto García García (Iquitos, 1925-2020), a documentary on the city where he lived most of his life, Pucallpa, was also scanned and will be screened in the near future.
We want to celebrate, for the first time in our country, Home Movie Day. Although we cannot reunite in person to share our amateur films or do an inspection of the incoming materials, we want to introduce this audiovisual world heritage conformed by personal memories to citizenship. Through the site Cine Amateur Peruano, a selection of the orphan films collection Cine Íntimo and the full personal archive of a family from Lima will be available from December 7th to January 3rd. The videos are accompanied by descriptions of the content and materials themselves.
We hope next year a series of in-site events around Perú will be possible. Home movies are important beyond the family realm!

Traça [Moth] – Mostra de Filmes de Arquivos Familiares
2021-01-01 - 2021-08-01 | Arquivo Municipal de Lisboa | Videoteca, Largo Calvário 2, Lisboa, Lisboa, 1300-113, Portugal
TRAÇA [moth] is a project for gathering, study and exhibition of home movies, promoted by the Lisbon City Council.
It has existed since 2015 as a Home Movie Showcase and since its beginning it has been established on two fundamental pillars: the territory, taken from the history of its occupation, and the archive, whose limits it seeks to expand.
The program of TRAÇA’s 3rd edition, in 2020, is presented through a digital route at the web site http://www.traca-arquivo.com/, a route that maps out the paths between Marvila and Alvalade, two neighborhoods of Lisbon. The platform was updated on each of the days of the local exhibition, between the 19th of October and the 25th of October. Following each digital route of events and screenings, several concepts are discussed, such as: displacement, construction, self-construction, occupation and memory.
The project seeks to draw an imaginary and common map that intersects and superimposes the ‘emotionality’ of the memories and the private images that it is gathering, with the ‘reality’ of the streets and buildings of Lisbon. In this vein, the history of Lisbon gains another dimension, private, unique, hitherto unknown and plural, a counterpoint to the official history as it is written by the eyes of those who inhabit the city.
A TRAÇA é um projeto de recolha, estudo e exposição de filmes de família promovido pela Videoteca do Arquivo Municipal de Lisboa.
Existe desde 2015 enquanto Mostra de Filmes de Arquivos Familiares e desde o seu início assenta sobre dois pilares fundamentais: o território, tratado a partir da história da sua habitação, e o arquivo, cujos limites procura expandir.
A programação da 3.ª edição da TRAÇA é apresentada através de um percurso digital (www.traca-arquivo.com), atualizado em cada um dos dias da mostra (19-25 de Outubro). O percurso mapeia percursos físicos em Marvila e Alvalade e problematiza também noções de deslocação, construção, autoconstrução, ocupação e memória.
Este projeto procura então traçar um mapa imaginário e comum, feito no cruzamento de todas as memórias e imagens individuais que está a recolher, e sobrepõe esse mapa, que é também emocional, a um outro, real, feito de ruas e edifícios. A história de Lisboa ganha assim uma outra dimensão, privada, única e até aqui desconhecida, contrapondo à história oficial, uma outra, plural, escrita pelos olhos de quem habita a cidade.?

Mining (And Manipulating) The Home Movie - Canadian Images in Conversation Screening
2021-10-16 06:00 - 2021-10-23 20:45 (America/Los_Angeles) | Canadian Images in Conversation, Ontario, Peterborough, Canada
Mining (And Manipulating) The Home Movie
Curated by Madison More
Live Panel Discussion: October 16 at 7pm
The experimental filmmakers whose work is in this program will discuss the idealistic nature of home movies and how their work addresses issues of memory and decay.
Screening Dates: October 16 – October 23
Program Description:
An often untapped source of historical evidence, home movies (and other types of orphaned film) offer a snapshot of Canadian life not recorded in mainstream histories of our country. While they can help people discover and remember our collective history, some historians and culture theorists have criticized their use as historical evidence, citing that they tend to idealize the past through what was filmed, how it was filmed, and who was filming. Containing personal and found home movies, as well as other types of source material, the films in this program reflect on the complexities of home movies and the realities they depict through the ways they incorporate and manipulate their source material. Emphasizing themes of memory and decay, the films raise questions about how our collective history should be remembered. Who gets to tell our stories? How should those stories be told? How can we begin documenting the past in a way that is reflective of different cultural groups?
Film List:
Christina Battle, nostalgia (April 2001to present), 2005, 4 min, 16mm
Critiques our idealistic view of the past by distorting images and sound.
Eva Kolcze and Philip Hoffman, By The Time We Got To Expo, 9 min, Digital

John Kneller, Separation, 2008, 6:30 min, 16mm

Amanda Dawn Christie, Mechanical Memory, 2005, 5 min, 16mm

Sara Angelucci, Snow, 2000, 5 minutes, digital
Uses the final fragments of home movies to create a series of “endings,” each one being obliterated by the white dots that appear at the end of each filmstrip.
Freda Guttman, Film Muet / Silent Movie, 1994, 9:20 min, digital
Experiments with 8mm home movie footage of the filmmaker to explore how familial roles are represented in the space of the home movie.
Louise Bourque, Imprint, 1997, 14 min, 16mm
Alters home movie footage of the filmmaker’s family home through tinting, bleaching, and other experimental practices.
Lindsay McIntyre, her silent life, 2011, 31 min, digital

HOME MOVIE DAY 2021 at Filmmuseum Potsdam: WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET?
2021-10-16 08:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Filmmuseum Potsdam, Breite Str. 1A, Potsdam, 14467, Germany
Smartphones have largely replaced film cameras and camcorders as tools for amateur filmmakers. What you see is what you get is taken for granted today. In the past, it was a case of anxious waiting until the last second of film development. Were all the parameters on the camera set correctly? Sometimes exposed material was carelessly left lying around to be developed years later and then inserted into a projector.
Anticipation of the unknown – this is also what drives a cine film scene that is still alive today. In this spirit, we cordially invite you to bring your home-made films to the Home Movie Day at the Filmmuseum Potsdam. Trained experts will view and check your films with you on site (8mm, 9.5mm and 16mm). Specialists from the company Screenshot will show you how analogue films can be digitised and even offer a free sample. If you dare, you can present selected films you have brought with you on the big screen in front of a cinema audience at the end. We are also looking forward to current films. In addition, a varied accompanying programme invites you to immerse yourself in the world of narrow and amateur film.
With presentations from the festival Dresdner Schmalfilmtage, the archive of family- and amateur film at university of Paderborn and a new book about the Ozaphan home cinema.

Roberta Smith of the New York Times profiled his works as “an intense artistic psyche descended from Pollock, Rauschenberg and Jack Smith—if not Hercules Segers.” Nothing more needs said except beware of “his haunting, often transgressive work” that deals with family, sexuality and death.
The potluck supper will also feature several home movies of Robert Haller shot by Jonas Mekas.

Dia del Cinema Domèstic - Barcelona
2021-10-16 18:30 - 20:00 (Europe/Madrid) | zumzeig cinecooperativa, Carrer Bejar 53, Barcelona, Spain
De la mano del Home Movie Day, una iniciativa nacida en 2002 para celebrar el cine familiar y amateur, nos proponemos proyectar y visionar películas rodadas en Súper 8, el formato por excelencia de las home movies, con el fin de reconocer el valor histórico, cultural y artístico de los registros amateurs, cotidianos y domésticos.
Imágenes y sonidos analógicos formarán parte de un espacio compartido gracias a un open screen en el que se podrá ver cine doméstico tanto en su faceta de archivo familiar así como también a través de propuestas de creación que parten de filmaciones caseras.
De este modo, no solo queremos acercarnos a un arte que destaca por su pureza naif. Sino que tambien queremos crear un diálogo entre tiempo y realidades.
¡Trae tus bobinas!
Si tienes películas domésticas en Súper 8, tráelas a Zumzeig antes del día 14 de octubre en el horario de apertura de la sala. Proyectaremos entre 6 y 15 minutos de tu material el día 16 de octubre a las 18.30h
¿Qué haremos?
Al final de la proyección analizaremos y compartiremos nuestras miradas y perspectivas sobre lo que hemos visto atendiendo a la potencialidad poética de estas memorias particulares y llevándolas a un común colectivo.
¿Qué lecturas contemporáneas se pueden hacer de esas filmaciones creadas en un presente que ya es pasado? ¿Realidad en estado puro? ¿Un presente “distorsionado” por la mirada amateur?

15:00 – 17:30 Od 15 hod. bude Ponrepo jako obvykle vyhrazeno projekci rodinných film? (ší?ky 8 mm, 9,5 mm, 16 mm), které ten den do kina p?inesou jejich majitelé. Funk?ní technické vybavení nezbytné k promítnutí je pro n? stále obtížn?ji dosažitelné, proto NFA v tento den každoro?n? nabízí zájemc?m možnost identifikace obsahu obrazového materiálu a jeho záchrany pro budoucnost následnou digitalizací. 18:00 – 19:00 Rodinný filma? a autorský film Pásmo NFA p?ipravené pro letošní promítání v rámci Home Movie Day tvo?í výhradn? hrané filmy. ?ást z nich reprezentují krátká dílka, která vznikla jako p?irozená sou?ást rodinné produkce a pro která je typická realizace jednoduchých nápad? nej?ast?ji ve form? groteskních scének a ske??. Jejich protipól p?edstavují filmy, na nichž je patrná d?kladn?jší p?íprava dávající už prostor specifickému autorského p?ístupu a stylu. Nejstarší filmy tohoto výb?ru byly nato?eny už v roce 1925, nejmladší na po?átku sedmdesátých let. Mezi tv?rci nalezneme vedle ryzích amatér? a amatérek také jména spojená s profesionálním filmovým prost?edím (režisér Miloš Makovec, herci Vlasta Fialová, Zden?k Kampf a Josef Gruss, spisovatel a scenárista František Kožík a dal.).
