(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Consider it an ode to a lost time, before everyone had a cell phone camera.
The Chicago Film Archives and Chicago Film Society are teaming up with the Chicago History Museum for "Chicago Home Movie Day." It will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday Oct. 8.
Here's how it works: Attendees bring old home movies in 16mm, 8mm or Super 8 format. Curators will inspect the reels and project a sampling of them, depending on the number of participants.
Films will be returned to their owners. Organizers hope to see some bygone days captured on celluloid.
"I just can't wait to see what people bring," says Rebecca Hall, spokesperson for the Chicago Film Archives. "You never know, because people come to Chicago from all over the place. Sometimes you end up seeing entirely different parts of the country, but I know that we're going to be seeing, ideally, some great footage of Chicago in the past."
