Two cool events this week from the internet archive that I figured some on this list would be interested in checking out:
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Internet Archive Events <accou...@archive.org> Date: Tue, Dec 8, 2015 at 6:38 PM Subject: THIS WEEK AT THE INTERNET ARCHIVE: Two Cinematic Events To: kgor...@gmail.com ------------------------------ 10th Annual Lost Landscapes of San Francisco December 10 [image: lostlandscape] The 10th annual screening of Lost Landscapes, Rick Prelinger’s archival tour of San Francisco’s past, happens at the Internet Archive on *Thursday, December 10*. Your ticket donations will benefit the Internet Archive, the non-profit digital library that hosts the Prelinger Collection. <https://archive.org/details/prelinger> Please give generously to support our mission: providing everyone free access to our cultural treasures, including these cinematic gems. Thursday, December 10, 2015 6:30 pm Reception 7:30 pm Interactive Film Program at the Internet Archive 300 Funston Ave. San Francisco, CA 94118 Get tickets here! <http://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-lost-landscapes-of-san-francisco-10-a-benefit-for-the-internet-archive-tickets-19484093448> As usual, the audience creates the soundtrack — you’ll be asked to identify places and events, share your thoughts, and create an unruly interactive symphony of speculation about the city we’ve lost and the city we’d like to live in. The film begins at 7:30 pm and is preceded by an informal reception that begins at 6:30 pm. *Light concessions will be available for purchase*. Although capacity is limited, no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. ------------------------------ Home Movie Day–A Celebration of Amateur Films and Filmmaking December 12 [image: homemovie] Do you have a much loved home movie sitting in the back of your closet? Something you would love to screen but don’t have the means to project anymore? Then Home Movie Day is for you. The Internet Archive will be hosting Home Movie Day for the San Francisco Bay Area on *Saturday, December 12, 2015 starting at 3 p.m.* The event is free and open to the public. Get tickets here! <http://www.eventbrite.com/e/home-movie-day-a-celebration-of-amateur-films-and-filmmaking-tickets-19350349416> Home Movie Day provides an opportunity for individuals and families to see and share their own home movies with an audience from their own community, and to see their neighbors’ in turn. It’s a chance to discover why these films are important and learn how best to care for them. We will have the film projectors, you are encouraged to bring your own home movies on 8mm, 16mm, or Super 8 to project on our big screen.
