The Found Footage Festival, the acclaimed touring showcase of odd and hilarious found videos from America, will make its triumphant return to Dublin on March 18th with a brand-new show. Hosts Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett, whose credits include The Onion and the Late Show with David Letterman, are excited to show off their new lineup of found video clips and live comedy to The Sugar Club, Dublin.
The Found Footage Festival is a one-of-a-kind event showcasing videos found at garage sales and thrift stores and in warehouses and dumpsters throughout North America. Curators Pickett and Prueher host each screening in-person and provide their unique observations and commentary on these found video obscurities. From the curiously-produced industrial training video to the forsaken home movie donated to Goodwill, the Found Footage Festival resurrects these forgotten treasures and serves them up in a lively celebration of all things found.
Among the new clips featured in the 2013 program:
An “opening act” of found classroom films from the ‘60s and ‘70s,curated especially for the show by renowned collector Skip Elsheimer of A.V. Geeks
Never-before-seen clips from the Kenny “K-Strass” Strasser yo-yo pranks that the FFF hosts pulled on news stations in the Midwest last year
Highlights from a 1986 video about how to care for your ferret
