Film The Found Footage Festival
posted by on November 28 at 16:10 PM
The Found Footage Festival is a one-of-a-kind event that compiles footage from video tapes that were found at garage sales, thrift stores, warehouses, and trash bins throughout the country. Curators Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher host each screening and provide their unique observations and commentary on these found video obscurities. From the curiously produced industrial training video to the forsaken home movie donated to Goodwill, the festival resurrects these forgotten treasures and serves them up in a lively 90-minute celebration of all things found. Among the new clips in the 2007 show: Highlights from a cable-access talent show called Stairway to Stardom; an all-new collection of exercise videos featuring Marky Mark Wahlberg, O. J. Simpson, and a group of rapping pregnant ladies; and an instructional video for a cosmetic device so frightening that it will forever haunt you.
Thurs Nov 29 at Central Cinema at 7 and 9:30 p.m.
Jason Tractenberg was doing the same thing at open milke at the OK Hotel 10 years ago. Old ideas, new peeps.
Good for those guys, though--I bet it will be good.
miss stereo, what's your point? people were sharing found footage stuff (in seattle and elsewhere) long before mr. tractenberg gave birth to a drummer.
maybe the "one-of-a-kind" phrase in the original post set you off. but that wasn't a reference to the concept of found footage. it was referring to the fact that all the items shown likely won't be shown again on another night.
