Home Video Day was covered by Nina Metz in the Chicago Tribune, and was recommended as one of the top ten things to do this weekend by Chicago Tonight!
Get in the mood by watching this short documentary by Taylor Price which celebrates the history of amateur videotape. At Home Video Day you will have the chance to meet three of the stars of this video!!!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BRINGING A TAPE
Bring your VHS, VHS-C, Betamax, Hi-8, Video 8 or Mini-DV cassette to the team of inspectors, who will make whatever repairs are necessary to ensure the tape is playable. You can cue up the tape to begin at a particular point or simply let the it play out at random. Each submission will receive 5 minutes of screening time, and you will have time to introduce your tape beforehand if you wish, or to narrate along with the action on screen. |
