Anthology Film Archives says…

In honor of Home Movie Day, Anthology offers up its projectors to the Great Unwatched Masses. From hermetic auteurs to film-school stylists, everyone can take advantage of the six-hour open screening and share homemade creations on a first-come, first-served basis. This celebration of deeply personal expression brings together a wide range of subject matter, giving ultra-low-budget horror movies, polished experimental shorts, and birthday-party documentaries their moments in the dark. Rather than letting your chef d'oeuvre be marked by art's scarlet A — anonymity — give your reels the true silver-screen treatment. Film archivists are on hand to dish thoughtful tips on how to preserve your masterpiece.
