February 8 - Global Movie Day


Happy Global Movie Day! Right in the heart of Oscar season, the second Saturday in February celebrates this day to honor the way movies have captured audiences’ hearts and minds around the world for over one century.  
  
Since their inception, movies have transcended geography, language, time, and culture, connecting us all through the power of storytelling. 
  
HOW TO OBSERVE 
  
Celebrate the Academy’s Global Movie Day by watching and discussing movies that have inspired you throughout the years. Share movie recommendations and discover ones you’ve never seen.  
  
Rewatch your favorite movies with friends or visit your local theater to see something new. Share the movies that have made an impression on you. 

Make your own “Top 10 Movies of All Time” list, catch up on this year’s Oscar nominees, and post your predictions. 
  
No matter how you choose to celebrate, be sure to take pictures/videos and share moments and memories using #GlobalMovieDay across social media.
