“Home Movie Day” at the Nebraska State Historical Society!

Do you remember the clatter of the projector while images of family, friends and faraway places danced on a screen?

1923's 16mm Cine-Kodak Model A

1923's 16mm Cine-Kodak Model A was the first amateur camera available to home movie photographers. Though a bit bulky, it was a boon to an industry to come.

Well, even if you don’t, you’re sure to enjoy Nebraska’s first “Home Movie Day,” a tribute to amateur movie making. You’re invited to this special event, at which you’ll see gems from the Nebraska State Historical Society’s large collection of home movies, and learn how to care for your own.

So if you’re a home movie hobbyist, a local or family historian, or just a lover of campy film, then Home Movie Day is for you! Save the date: October 15, 2011, 1:30-3:00pm, at the Nebraska History Museum, 15th and P Streets in Lincoln. The event is free to the public.
