Hi everyone,

UNC will hold a HMD screening of films in the collections here on
Wednesday Oct. 22 in the Pleasants Family Assembly Room in Wilson
Library.

The films are:
8mm home movies and actuality footage shot around the Mississippi Delta
by Bill Ferris (ca. 1960s, film or DVD)
8mm home movies shot by Allard Lowenstein of travels abroad in Europe,
Africa, and Russia (ca. 1950s, film or DVD)
16mm home movie of African Americans identified as former slaves shot
around Florence, SC by Harry Lee Harllee (ca. 1920s, DVD)
16mm home movie of an African American Baptism ceremony in a lake (ca.
1960s, film or DVD)
and
Home movie footage of a jam session shot by Tommy Thompson (gotta get
more details on this one, film or DVD)


Should be fun!

Quoting Kim Cumber <kim.cumber AT ncmail.net>:

Y'all,

We can do DVDs and - IF Skip will help - 16mm motion picture film. I have a
projector but will need Skip's expertise (or someone's expertise) to set it
all up - down in the auditorium on a stand or in the auditorium control room
or in the Search Room. Depending on how many people we expect to show up,
we have the option to have this event in the Search Room of the State
Archives which might be best if we end up expecting 50 or fewer folks.

All,

I agree and I can help on the 23rd as well. Kim-what formats? Then I
can say what we can show.

In my opinion they don't have to be separate events. In fact we can have
the whole thing here if you want to! We have an auditorium here on
the 1st
floor at the State Archives building that seats, like, 200 people. I can
reserve it for us for Thursday night, October 23rd. Parking will not
be a
problem on a weeknight either - we have the lot right across the
street from
the building.

Just let me know if you want to do it here as one event!

So Lisa and Kim. Are the State Archives and NCSU shows going to be two
separate events?

Hi all,

Thursday night for the Raleigh screening works great. I'm corresponding
with Stephanie at UNC to nail down a date for their screening, but
they're
aware Thursday is already "taken." Once I hear back from Stephanie,
I'll
send out a note to everyone and maybe we can start discussing the poster
and promotion early next week? How does that sound? It looks like the
UNC screenings will loosely focus on "the South." With our films
focusing
somewhat on international travels/cultures and State's films focusing on
many local events, I think we'll have a nice balance -- from our
backyard
to the far reaches of the globe, so to speak.

More soon.

RE: Home Movie Day 2008 and the evening screening..






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?
