What insights do old home movies give us into the daily lives of past generations, and why should they be preserved for posterity? These are the kinds of questions being asked in What I Learned From 8mm. Home movie makers concentrated on family and friends, done with a shared love of our children, vacations, homes, backyards, or waiting for the parade to pass. These home movies give us information that is not orchestrated, not propaganda, and not made for money, yet they are being discarded at an alarming rate. Join local film director Sean Scally, on a journey to discover what we too can learn from 8mm.
