NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The North Adams Public Library will host a Home Movie Day on Saturday, Oct. 15, from 7 to 10 p.m.

 

Home Movie Day is an annual celebration of the historical and cultural value of amateur film. Screenings are held in communities throughout the world, and residents are encouraged to bring their films to share.

 

Participants may show up at 7 p.m. with their films. Qualified volunteers will inspect for condition. Projection formats include 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm.

 

This is the fourth Home Movie Day event in North Adams and Williamstown. Local host Rich Remsberg says past screenings have brought to light family films from Kenya, a student film from an underground comics artist, and many scenes of North Adams rendered in Kodachrome.
