    Produced by the Center for Home Movies with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation, the Louis B Mayer Foundation, and Cineric, Inc. Dramatic, funny, poignant, and even strange, Amateur Night presents 16 amateur films from the collections of American film archives. Piecing together family moments, historical scenes, animation, drama, comic routines and travelogues dating from 1915 to 2005, this groundbreaking compilation ably demonstrates the eclectic array of entertainment, innovation, and enlightenment found in home movies. Blown-up from the original reels to 35mm, Amateur Night is a feature-length, big-screen journey into the eclectic past–and present–of small-gauge filmmaking. C-presented by Dwight Swanson.
