È un archivio storico la cui missione è salvare le memorie filmiche private: le pellicole 9,5mm Pathé Baby, 16mm, 8mm e Super 8 girate principalmente in famiglia tra gli anni ’20 e ’80 del secolo scorso.
L’Archivio è la prima struttura italiana dedicata al recupero, alla conservazione e alla valorizzazione del cinema amatoriale, e l’unica organizzazione in Italia che svolge la sua attività di raccolta delle pellicole su tutto il territorio nazionale e garantisce la conservazione dei documenti audiovisivi originali in locali climatizzati.
L’Archivio, creato e gestito dall’Associazione Home Movies con il sostegno, la collaborazione e la tutela di istituzioni pubbliche e private, si rivolge ai possessori di pellicole amatoriali desiderosi di rivedere i propri film trasferiti in video digitale e di partecipare a un progetto culturale che ha ottenuto in questi anni numerosi riconoscimenti in Italia e all’estero.
Vedi in particolare le sezioni Archivio Film e Raccolta Film per le informazioni sulla struttura, le procedure e il funzionamento dell’Archivio e sulle modalità di partecipazione.

“Film Stills from the Sultan Family Home Movies.”
From Art Daily’s exhibit review:
The suburbs and their inhabitants have been a rich subject for photographers of the West, and included are Larry Sultan’s (American, b. 1946) “Film Stills from the Sultan Family Home Movies” (1943-1972), in which Sultan chose individual frames from his family’s home movies and enlarged them. Although the images feature the activities that epitomize suburban life, a sense of unease lurks beneath the surface of these images; cropped and grainy, they resemble surveillance or evidence photographs.
And from 1990, an interview with Larry Sultan in BOMB.
“The home movie stills were my point of departure. At that time in my life, I was obsessed with memory. I would watch my family’s movies, as a probe, kind of a petites madeleines.”

Victrola Favorites is a series of cassette compilations of 78 rpm recordings from around the world. In selecting the Delightful Compositions for your listening Enjoyment, particular emphasis is placed upon presenting Audio Artifacts from non-Western nations and cultures, as well those which are Plain Odd and Amusing™.
The unannotated series is produced exclusively for Fire Breathing Turtle, a completely Independent purveyor of recording Curios, located in scenic and dreary Seattle, Washington.
There, at the Climax Golden Institute of Archeosonography, thematic Volumes consisting of musical Recordings of note and especial beauty, many of them Quite Rare, are assembled from hitherto unexplored Archives and Collections. The first Volume of Victrola Favorites was released in 1997, and additional Volumes have followed with consistently nonuniform periodicity to this very day.
How Victrola Favorites Volumes Are Produced
Each Volume is compiled from the Private collections of our Directing Archivists of Archeosonography, Professor Robert Millis and the Right Honorable Jeffrey Taylor. Occasionally, a Special Guest Archeosonographist is invited to curate a Volume devoted to a particular Category or Type of recording. Our Archivists and Guest Archeosonographists have scoured the World to collect the Finest 78 rpm recordings so that no other Bastard might take them home instead.
Lorraine O'grady
Lorraine O’Grady is an artist and critic whose installations, performances, and texts address issues of diaspora, hybridity, and black female subjectivity. The New York Times in 2006 called her “one of the most interesting American conceptual artists around.” And in 2007 her landmark performance, Mlle Bourgeoise Noire, was made one of the entry points to WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution, the first-ever museum exhibit of this major art movement.
Born in Boston in 1934 to West Indian parents, O’Grady came to art late, not making her first works
until 1980. After majoring in economics and literature, she’d had several careers: as an intelligence analyst for the U.S. government, a successful literary and commercial translator, even a rock critic. Ultimately, her broad background contributed to a distanced and critical view of the art world when she entered it and to an unusually eclectic attitude toward artmaking. In O’Grady’s work, the idea tends to come first, and then a medium is employed to best execute it. Although its intellectual content is rigorous and political, the work is generally marked by unapologetic beauty and elegance.
IT WAS VERY NICE TO SPEAK WITH YOU ABOUT CHARLES AND MICHAEL, THANKS LORRAINE
Specific Objects Specific Object / David Platzker
Specific Object / David Platzker a personal venture to aggregate interesting objects in any artistic medium and present them in a contained venue, as well as to present these objects – and additional objects of interest – online at www.specificobject.com
Specifically, Specific Object is an attempt to isolate distinct works of value – historically, monetarily and / or personally valuable – and show them in an isolated context without the artifice of visual confusion or clutter in hopes of allowing these works, or objects, their own place, space and time. The material to be shown will range from artists’ publications, ephemera, prints, multiples and other editions to literature, music / audio works and unique artworks of the contemporary world.
In November 2004 Specific Object acquired the inventory of Barbara Moore’s bookstore Bound & Unbound. Through her bookshops Bound & Unbound and its predecessor Backworks, founded in 1976, Moore has been a seminal and innovative champion of artists working in alternative mediums.
In February 2005 Specific Object launched the "Specific Object Publication of the Year Award", to annually recognize excellence in artists’ publication.
From 1998 through 2004 Platzker was the Executive Director of the non-profit institution Printed Matter, Inc. He is also the co-author, and co-curator – with Elizabeth Wyckoff – of “Hard Pressed: 600 Years of Prints and Process” (International Print Center New York & Hudson Hills Press, 2000); and - with Richard H. Axsom - the book and exhibition entitled "Printed Stuff: Prints, Posters, and Ephemera by Claes Oldenburg : A Catalogue Raisonne 1958-1996" (Madison Art Center & Hudson Hills Press, 1997), which was awarded the George Wittenborn Award for Best Art Publication of 1997 by the Art Libraries Society of North America.
