This collection of home movies includes amateur films and videotapes from the collections of the Center for Home Movies and other home movie aficionados. The collections include family activities, travelogues, dramas and a variety of homemade films from the last century, as well as ephemeral films about home movie making.
In 2003, a group of film archivists created Home Movie Day, an annual international screening event that celebrates amateur filmmaking and
provides information about film preservation. Each year, volunteers
in cities around the world set up projectors and invite people to see
their home movies projected in public venues. In 2005, the Center for
Home Movies was established as a non-profit corporation to administer
Home Movie Day and to engage in new home movie projects and to act as
a clearinghouse for information about home movies. The Center's
mission is to collect, preserve, provide access to, and promote
understanding of home movies and amateur motion pictures. Information
about Home Movie Day and "Living Room Cinema," a DVD compilation of
films shown at Home Movie Day events, can be found at
