Home Movie Day is underway for 2025!

Now more than ever we at the Center for Home Movies are feeling the need to come together to illuminate our community histories against the pain and precarity that so many people are feeling. So we’re grateful to be marking our calendars once again for Home Movie Day 2025 on Saturday, October 18th. But of course, as always, anyone can host a Home Movie Day on any day, and we encourage you to get creative with seasonal and regional themes. The folks in Brattleboro, Vermont (first-ever!) and Rochester, New York have already gotten a jump on HMD season, and Ano Syros, Greece is coming up this Saturday, April 26th – Home Movie Days springing into spring!

Home Movie Day at ENTRE Film Center in Harlingen Texas on November 2, 2024 featured a special Día de los Muertos exhibition showcasing clips from their Rio Grande Valley home movie archive in an ofrenda.

Go to our About Home Movie Day page to find an upcoming HMD near you, or fill out this form to submit your own event information. If you’re interested in organizing a Home Movie Day but aren’t sure where to start, we have a wealth of resources available for first-timers and seasoned veterans alike, and you can also contact us directly at info@centerforhomemovies.org with questions or to be added to our Home Movie Day listserv, where you can connect with other hosts and share information. In the spirit of fostering the wonderful Home Movie Day community that’s developed over the past two-plus decades and is still welcoming newcomers, we’re encouraging people to share their post-HMD Event Reports on the listserv (report forms also available as PDF or Word doc at the bottom of our Documents page). 

We also encourage the use of social media for HMD sharing! – use the hashtag #HomeMovieDay2025 and tag us on your social media posts so we can help spread the word: @centerforhomemovies (Instagram) @TheCenterforHomeMovies (Facebook). And again if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email us: info@centerforhomemovies.org. We can’t wait to see what you come up with this year <3
