Join us for a screening of amateur films from decades past and around the world. Amateur Movie Day is an international celebration of the history of non-professional filmmaking. Charles Tepperman (University of Calgary) will introduce a program of Canadian and international amateur films. Come enjoy these gems of low- (and no-) budget filmmaking from the 1930s-1970s!

This event is sponsored by the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers. CSIF was founded in 1978 by a collective of twelve filmmakers who saw the growing need for film resources and film equipment on the traditional Treaty 7 territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), also known as Calgary, Alberta. Now over 40 years later we are an integral part of the growing cultural community in Calgary and are excited about new collaborations and opportunities.
