Established in 2017, Bloomington Zinefest is an annual event celebrating self-publishing culture in Indiana and beyond by providing space for writers, artists, radicals, and other exhibitors to sell and trade their zines.

Join us for this free “celebration of amateur films and filmmaking held annually at many local venues worldwide.” Home Movie Day events provide the opportunity for individuals and families to see and share their own home movies with an audience of their community, and to see their neighbors’ in turn. It’s a chance to consult with Indiana University archivists and digital media specialists to learn how to preserve and care for film, slides, photographs, and VHS recordings. All are welcome.

Information and consultations will occur from 12pm -3pm. Registration for consultation is preferred so that we may attend to questions and needs efficiently. Please register via this link: https://iub.libcal.com/event/5744433

From 3-5pm home movie screenings will occur. Please bring a home movie to share, or simply come to enjoy the fun!
