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!
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee presents Home Movie Day. Community members are
invited to bring home movies in the form of 8mm, Super 8mm, 16mm, VHS, Mini-DV, or digital
files, have the materials inspected/repaired by UWM volunteers, and then screened with an
audience while the owner narrates.
Throughout the day, volunteers will give quick explanations of how to take care of film, video,
and digital files, and ideas on where one can get their old media transferred. There will also be
a recurring raffle and Home Movie Day Bingo for prizes!
The event is free and will be at Mitchell Hall at UWM (3203 N Downer Ave, Milwaukee WI
53211) Room B91 on October 15 th . Community members are welcome to drop by from 10am-
4pm, and films will be screened on a first come first serve basis based on projector availability.
