The Found Footage Festival celebrates their 20th anniversary with a demented victory lap of some legendary VHS hilarities and oddities.

Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (Late Show) have over 13,000 VHS tapes in their collection and have been taking viewers on a guided tour through their latest and greatest finds since 2004. To celebrate two decades of this VHS nonsense, they will serve up their all-time greatest finds including the dumbest exercise videos, the craziest public access shows, and updates with the wonderful weirdos they’ve met along the way. (90 mins., DCP)

Arrive early to welcome Pickett and Prueher at a reception with a cash bar in our lower lobby starting at 6:30 PM and stay after to purchase Found Footage merch.

Please note: This program includes nudity and adult language.
