Home Movie Day

Home Movie Day is returning to Bloomington again this year on
Saturday, October 17th
from 12-4pm
at the Monroe County History Center, located at
202 E. Sixth Street in downtown Bloomington.


Home Movie Day is a celebration of amateur films and filmmaking held annually at many local venues worldwide. Home Movie Day events provide the opportunity for individuals and families to see and share their own home movies with an audience of their community, and to see their neighbors' in turn. It's a chance to discover why to care about these films and to learn how best to care for them.

Last year was our first event in Bloomington and it was a blast. This year, our Home Movie Day is co-sponsored by the Monroe County Historical Society and the Indiana University Department of Communication and Culture. There will be screenings of films brought in from the community and beyond. We will have the ability to screen films in the following formats: 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm film, VHS, and DVD.
