Home Movie Day is a worldwide celebration of amateur films and filmmaking held annually on the second Saturday in August.

Home Movie Day provides an opportunity for individuals and families to learn more about their own family movies, how to care for films, and how home movies have helped capture 20th century history.

RMIC invites YOU to rifle through your attics, dig through your closets, call up Grandma, and search out your family's home movies and bring an 8mm, Super 8, or 16mm home movie (sorry, no video or slides) to Home Movie Day to see it projected. Or just show up and watch the films of others.

If you have a box of old films that you know nothing about, bring 'em between noon and 2 pm and we will take a look at them and give you information and advice on how to take care of them, recommend places for film to video transfers, etc.

NOTE: We will inspect, clean and repair films on a first-come, first-served basis and a limit of one film per person, depending on the number of people who bring films.
