Found Footage Film Festival

What: Short films, 90 mins.
Where: Revue Cinema
When: Fri., May 10 to Sat., May 11
Genre: Various

One of the city’s most unique film events is the Found Footage festival, a two-night celebration of the weird, the dated and the unexpected. Two VHS obsessives, Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (Late Show), will screen hidden gems from their collection (which boasts over 13,000 titles). This year’s cinematic curios include 1987 dating service tapes, a new-age seminar and a dubious striptease. The footage includes brief nudity and guarantees an unconventional good time.
