"Found Footage Festival": vignettes from the vault

The insanely popular Found Footage Festival, curated and hosted by Joe Pickett of The Onion along with Nick Prueher of Late Night with David Letterman, is - you guessed it! - a film festival consisting of often random but always fascinating "found footage," dug up from the depths of buried video and celluloid archives, culled from various subcultures, and it has been delighting audiences around the country and beyond for years with its eclection collections of esoteric ephemera. Their YouTube channel is a great place to start wading through what you may have been missing all this time, while offering previews of more delectable, decadent and delirious discoveries yet to be unearthed, unraveled and uncovered for overjoyed fans of both offbeat cinema and unpredicatable human nature.
