Roanoke’s First Home Movie Day: November 1st!

Home Movie Day is finally coming to Roanoke courtesy of yours truly and the ever-generous main branch of Roanoke Public Library.

The public is invited to bring in their 8mm, Super8, and 16mm home movies on Saturday, November 1st from 10:00am until noon to have them inspected, cleaned, and repaired by professional archivists and trained volunteers. We’ll also have handouts on how to best care for your films and how to have them safely transferred to DVD.

Starting at 1pm, the games begin! We’ll screen a selection of the films brought in whilst playing home movie bingo! Prizes will be awarded and there will be complimentary refreshments for everyone! The event is absolutely FREE and all are welcome with or without home movies in tow!
