About
Join Moving Image Preservation of Puget Sound (MIPoPS) for HOME MOVIE DAY 2018!

Home Movie Day is a celebration of amateur films and filmmaking held locally and across the globe. On Home Movie Day, we recognize the value of each persons ability to tell their own stories. We celebrate the democratization of filmmaking and of recording our personal histories. We laugh at seeing ourselves in the bathtub as a baby. We cry hearing the voices of loved ones who have passed. We eagerly shout, I remember that! as our stories come to life again on the screen. Home Movie Day is an opportunity to watch, talk about, and take care of home movies. Join MIPoPS for an Antiques Roadshow-style event, where film and video experts can answer your questions on how to protect and preserve your home movies.

Join MIPoPS at Northwest Film Forum for:
