Event
THE FOUND FOOTAGE FESTIVAL
Sunday, October 24 at 7pm Tickets: $10
The Found Footage Festival guys, Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett, return
to Cinema Arts Centre with an all-new, all-hilarious collection of bizarre,
ridiculous, and downright demented found videos! The Found Footage Festival is a
one-of-a-kind event showcasing videos found at garage sales and thrift stores and in
warehouses and dumpsters throughout the country. Curators Pickett and Prueher
host each screening in-person 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 Found Footage Festival resurrects these forgotten treasures and serves them up in a lively celebration of all things found.
Among the new clips to be featured in the Volume 5 program:
Self-hypnosis videos about how to be a better lover, businessman, and bowler
A 1986 home movie taken during a debaucherous weekend in Fort Lauderdale
A collection of ventriloquism how-to videos that will forever haunt you
A brand-new compilation of exercise videos featuring Cher, Lyle Alzado and the American Gladiators
The Found Footage Festival was founded in New York in 2004 and has gone on to sell out hundreds of shows across the U.S. and
Canada, including the HBO Comedy Festival in Las Vegas and the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. The festival has been
featured on National Public Radio, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and G4 TV Attack of the Show, and has been named a critic's pick in dozens
of publications, including The Village Voice, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and The Chicago Tribune. The FFF can
also be seen twice a week in a popular web series on The Onion A.V. Club and in a forthcoming book by St. Martin Press. Joe Pickett,
a former film technician, and Nick Prueher, a former researcher at the Late Show with David Letterman, have written for The Onion
and Entertainment Weekly and directed the award-winning documentary, Dirty Country, now available on DVD. They are also the
masterminds behind the Kenny "K-Strass" Strasser yo-yo pranks that hit local morning TV news shows across the Midwest and have
since racked up millions of hits on YouTube.
