Hey, y’all – I believe we at
the State Archives have fixed on Thursday nigh, October 24th, for
our screening. I believe Duke has been considering Tuesday or Wednesday,
October 22nc or 23rd. Here I have pasted a copy of correspondence
about this from a few weeks ago…, but this is all I have heard so far:
This sounds great, Kim! Thanks for providing all
this information.
Kirston
PS:
I think this event would make a great spot on "The State of
Things." Perhaps we can contact Katy Barron, Managing Editor, and
kind of pitch it to her at some point - send her a brief description of the
program and a list of potential people to interview.

RE: [NCMIA] Home Movie Screenings in October
|
|
Y’all,
That is pretty exciting!
I don’t know that we have any films that follow the
travel theme, but here at the State Archives, we are thinking of showing some
of the following on the evening of Thursday, October 23rd:
- H. Lee Waters films of Hillsborough, NC
- Raleigh Fire Department training film, c.1950s (hilarious)
- Tar Heel Family by George Stoney 1949, very forward thinking film about NC’s
natural resources and conservation etc…
- Tomorrow’s Market Today, 1965 film by WRAL about
‘modern’ marketing and economic development and the new Research
Triangle Park!
- Jockey’s Ridge for all the People, 1975-1976, moving student film by Ron Hagell about saving the
dune from developers and the founding of the state park at Jockey’s Ridge
And please count us “in” on a joint poster and
let me know what you need from us. Our screening date is not ‘set
in stone’ but Thursday is a very good night for us if it doesn’t
conflict with anyone else. Please do keep me in the loop on this and I
look forward to hearing from you!

Subject: [NCMIA] Home Movie Screenings in October
Hello everyone,
Karen Glynn and I have chosen several films to screen the week following Home
Movie Day (October 18). I hope some of you have uncovered some home movie
treasures as well and are still interested in screening these films the week of
October 20-24. If so, I thought it might be a good idea to choose a date
for each of our screenings. Perhaps we could each choose one night for
screenings and work this into our PR strategy?
As it happens, the films we’ve chosen for our screening are all somehow
related to travel and/or world cultures. We’re planning to screen
films from the Sidney D. Gamble collection (China 1917-1932, DVD), the Glenn
Kiner collection (Shanghai, 1928, lenticular, DVD), the Frederic Cowper Papers
(Paris Exposition, 1937, film print), the H. Lee Waters collection (North
Carolina, 1930s, film print), and the Morris Margolin Collection (USSR, Japan,
Norway, France, Israel, 1950-60s, DVD).
We’d like to screen our films either Tuesday, October 21 or Wednesday,
October 22. How does this work with your schedules? Should we try
to collaborate on a poster for this event? If so, we may be able to
design it here at Duke and provide a pdf file to everyone to print from. Please
let us know if you like the idea of a joint poster listing the multiple
screenings and we’ll see if we can get Library support to create it.
Please write back with any thoughts or ideas and with a preferred screening
date.
Thanks,
Kirston and Karen

Subject: Home Movie Day 2008 and
the evening screening..
Hey folks,
I'm about to head to Texas
for a couple of shows over the weekend, but we need to coordinate:
1) HMD 2008 Raleigh.
Specifically, press for the event. Can we get the NCSU promo machine cranking?
2) The Screening. Tentatively we were going to do a screening at the
Erdahl-Cloyt theater in the library, but it's not done yet. Is that still the
case, Lisa? If so, we need to find an alternative venue. So far, I don't
think the other universities have announced a date, so maybe we should jump on
it and be first to pick a date. What do you think?
Also what do we want to screen, I suppose it doesn't really need to be home
movie-centric but it would be a nice tie-in?
