What has this world come to? Movies made on phones, emailed and deleted? The San Francisco Media Archive is hoping to bring back the nostalgia by hosting this Home Movie Day on Saturday, Aug 11, where you can dust off dad's or grandpa's movies and share them. Not just because you want to remember what Auntie Sue got for her 7th birthday, but because it's a piece of history to see what they were wearing, what they were driving, and where they lived.
There will also be clinics to help you preserve these movies and transfer them to DVD for "modern" posterity. (Until they have a DVD to future technology transfer service in 10 years!) And vintage San Francisco home movies that have been donated will also be shown.
It's time to share those memories with the city!
