Return of the Found Footage Film Festival
What could be more entertaining and satisfying than laughing at other people? Founded back in 2004 by Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher, the New York-based Found Footage Festival specialises in collecting crappy old VHS videos from bins, garage sales and charity shops. They’re constantly on the lookout for bizarre home movies, odd industrial training videos, rib-tickling self-help guides, crazy religious rants, and so on. The duo then splice this cornucopia of crud together to form a show, discussing where and how they found the clips and adding their own live comedy commentary.
Pickett and Prueher bring their latest collection of obscurities, the evocatively titled Salute to Weirdos, to the Cube on April 23. Their previous Bristol performances have sold out quickly, so you’d be advised to book now. Advance tickets cost £11 and are available here.
