Found Footage Festival

This live comedy event and screening features odd and amusing clips from videotapes found at thrift stores, garage sales, warehouses and Dumpsters throughout the country. Each screening is hosted by a festival curator who provides his unique observations and commentary on these found video obscurities. Fans of the sadly defunct access program The Show With No Name may recognize a a couple clips, like the Winnebago Guy (pictured above). From the industrial training videos to forsaken home movies, the Found Footage Festival gives these abandoned relics their moment on the silver screen.
