Found Footage Fest

The Found Footage Festival is a one-of-a-kind celebration of the videos that time forgot, dredged up in dusty thrift stores and estate sales throughout North America. Childhood friends Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher take audiences on a guided tour of their latest and greatest VHS finds, providing live commentary and where-are-they-now updates on the people in these videotaped obscurities. Highlights of the new show include: · A retrospective of the Magical Rainbow Sponge crafting videos and a tribute to its star, Dee Gruenig · A new montage of exercise videos, including a Christian workout called “Believercise” and a tongue aerobics tape called “Oral Aerobics” · A mysterious New Age video called "Elimination: The First Step." The Found Footage Festival debuted in New York City in 2004 and has gone on to sell out hundreds of shows each year across the U.S., Canada and the UK, including the Just For Laughs Festival, Edinburgh Fringe and Bonnaroo. It has been featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and National Public Radio and has been named a critics’ pick in The Guardian and The New York Times. The FFF can also be seen in their weekly YouTube series, VCR Party Live!, and the hit Tribeca documentary, Chop & Steele, now available on blu-ray and video-on-demand.
