The project of preservation of domestic cinema Memorias Celuloides, in collaboration with the Cartagena International Film Festival FICC, the Department of Culture and the Municipal Archive, invites citizens to take their forgotten rolls of Super 8, 8mm from the drawers, 16mm and 9.5mm.

On the occasion of the IV Day of the Domestic Film of Cartagena, next November 22, in the Municipal Archives of Cartagena are collecting all those recordings that citizens take to be inspected and prepared for digitalization by a project team.

The collection time of the recordings is from Monday to Friday between 9:00 and 13:45 and also on Tuesdays from 5:00 to 7:45.

The project technicians will collect the films, identifying them with the data of the owner and then inspect, clean and, if necessary, restore them to make sure they are able to be projected.

On November 22 between 10:00 and 13:45 in the same facilities of the Archive there will be a working session open to the public to which anyone with their films can attend, or anyone interested in the method of work used to project, preserve and digitize these files.

That same day in the afternoon, within the programming of FICC_46, at the Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo Foundation from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. there will be a screening with a selection of family films received in the call.

Other family films from Cartagena of the Memo Archive will also be screened.

After the projections of the Day of the Domestic Cinema, they will be returned to their owners or they can be collected in the Municipal Archives as of Monday, December 4, at their usual time.

The project Cellular Memories also offers the possibility of digitizing movies, citizens who request this service will be notified when it is ready.

THE DAY OF DOMESTIC CINEMA

The Day of the Domestic Cinema revolves around family films (Super 8, 8mm and 16mm) and their owners.

Its purpose is to make local citizens aware of the importance of this type of material as part of family memory, but also as a historical document and cultural heritage.

This type of meetings (Home Movie Day), initiated by The Center for Home Movies in 2002 (USA), have an international character, and this year 2017 is celebrated for the fourth time in Cartagena.
