Our archivists will be on hand to examine, evaluate and if ok, project your home movies on 9.5mm, Standard 8 and super 8mm. If you've home movies sitting in your attic or under your floorboards and you don't know what's on them, bring them along to London's Home Movie Day. Running from 10:30am until 4pm, this is a free, family friendly event and you don't even need a film to attend.

To tie in to this year's BFI London Film Festival Gala film, Steve McQueen's Blitz at 1pm, we'll be showing a very special home movie kindly lent from our friends at the Imperial War Museum London. Shot in 1941, Rosie Newman's film catalogues the devastation wrought on London's streets during the Blitz in April of that year. To bring some light and glamour to the day, we'll also be showing some exclusive home movies from the archive of ranconteur, actor, playwright and film director Noël Coward This specially curated programme will be accompanied by film composer and pianist, Neil Brand.

The day will be an astonishing love letter to all things #homemovies #films #london #family #cinema Plus, there'll be tea and homemade cakes! What's not to like?!
