Each October in cities all around the world, folks gather at Home Movie Day events to view these unique films and share them with their communities. We hope that Emory’s Home Movie Day will be an opportunity to explore interesting films from Emory’s collections, consider film as a window into community history, and learn about the work of film preservation and how to care for one’s own home movies. Please join us!
