The Found Footage Festival returns with some fresh VHS picks curated by Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (The Colbert Report).

Pickett and Prueher join us to give a hilarious guided tour of their latest haul of video picked up at garage sales, thrift stores, and dumpsters. This year’s weird, wonderful world of VHS includes snippets from the 1988 Miss Junior America Wisconsin pageant, a mysterious tape labeled "bonion sergery," a home movie from Ohio called The First Annual Martin Carlton Stunt Special, and the seasonally appropriate Skiercise.

Arrive early to welcome Pickett and Prueher at a reception with cash bar in our lower lobby starting at 6:30 PM.

"It’s totally bizarre—you’ll see things you never imagined existed, and some things you wish you could unsee."
