Found Footage Festival 2018
Childhood friends Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher are back after their two sell-out shows
at Cube cinema in 2017, serving up their dirtiest, most disturbing, and patently
misguided VHS finds from 25 years of collecting.
The Found Footage Festival, America’s acclaimed touring showcase of odd and hilarious found videos, brings its 2018 show to Arnolfini, showcasing videos found at
garage sales and thrift stores and in warehouses and dumpsters throughout North America.
Comedians Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (The Colbert Report) 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.
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.
Highlights of the new show include:
● A home movie documenting a debaucherous holiday weekend in rural Michigan
● A New Age exercise video demonstrating a process called “testicle breathing”
● The “sexy” hype video for a 1980s pro wrestling duo called The Fabulous Ones
● Behind-the-scenes footage from a fishing-themed calendar called Women In Waders
Aug 29, Arnolfini, 8pm, £13.20 incl booking fee.
