Home Movie Day 2012

Description

An international program observed by over 50 cities and 13 countries worldwide, Home Movie Day is an initiative of the Center for Home Movies that highlights the cultural significance of home movies and the need to properly preserve them as artifacts of culture.

OMCA encourages the public to submit their films for screening at Home Movie Day. In honor of OMCA's exhibition Forgotten Stories, Remarkable Lives: Dias de los Muertos 2012, on view October 10 through December 9, applicants are especially encouraged to share films honoring loved ones that have passed away and remembering local heroes and heroines who may not have made it into history books but have made an impact in their communities.

Early drop-off film Info: To submit your home movie, drop it off at the Security Control entrance at the Oakland Museum of California from 8am to 8pm by Saturday, October 20th, 2012 (50 – 10th Street at Fallon).
