Event preview by Bob Ignizio
For a decade now, the Found Footage
Festival has been collecting video oddities and presenting them to
the public. These are the cultural artifacts that no one else wanted
to preserve, and which some probably wish had simply vanished from
the face of the earth. Strange ephemera like exercise tapes,
commercials, bloopers and outtakes, and corporate training videos.The fest even helped launch underground sensation "The Winnebago Man" into his own documentary feature (check out our review here).
Festival curators Joe Pickett and Nick
Prueher will be presenting their seventh collection of this weirdness
live at the Beachland Ballroom on Sunday June 22nd at 8:00 pm (doors
open at 7). According to the festival website, this edition of the
festival is, “jam packed with newly unearthed treasures, featuring
singing rabbis, petulant news anchors, coughing snake handlers,
bodybuilding clowns, and two body parts never before seen in the
festival!” How can you pass that up? Admission is $12.00. For more
info and to see samples of the kind of stuff that will be screened,
