Dear colleagues,

The fourth annual Home Movie Day will take place around the world on
Saturday, August 12. Among the many new venues joining Home Movie Day
this year is New Orleans, where local archivists will be able to survey
the extent of the damage done to New Orleans' family film collections
and provide information to their keepers about preserving their films
and videotapes. An additional screening will precede the Saturday Home
Movie Day event and focus on home movies made by members of New Orleans'
filmmaking community.

All archivists are encouraged to contact the coordinators of the event
nearest them to find out how to volunteer, contribute, or participate.
HMD is a great way for archives to reach out to their local communities,
share information about preservation and programming, and develop
collections of historic motion picture materials. For a complete listing
of Home Movie Day event locations, see

Best regards,

Organizers, Hosts, and Volunteers of Home Movie Day 2006

******************************************************************

"There's no such thing as a bad home movie. These mini-underground
opuses are revealing, scary, joyous, always flawed, filled with
accidental art and shout out from attics and closets all over the world
to be seen again. Home Movie Day is an orgy of self-discovery, a chance
for family memories to suddenly become show business. If you've got one,
whip it out and show it now."

- John Waters
