Events This Week

Do you have reels of old film in your attic that you've never been able to watch? We invite you to bring them to Maine Home Movie Day! Home Movie Day provides the opportunity to screen your 8mm, Super 8 and 16mm movies, get advice on their care and storage, and to enjoy films that others bring in.

This year our special guest is Bill Green, host of WCSH's Bill Green's Maine, who will share his own home movies of growing up in Bangor, ca. 1960s.

Northeast Historic Film
Archivists from Northeast Historic Film in Bucksport will be present
to conduct on-site inspections and screen the films.
