During the Found Footage Festival, hosts Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher will play their latest and greatest VHS finds, as well as give where-are-they-now updates on the characters depicted in the videos. The Brooklyn-based festival’s concept encompasses various interesting, hilarious and odd videos from old VHS tapes found by Pickett and Prueher, who began collecting in 1991 and launched their festival in 2004. Highlights of the 10th volume of this showcase include a retrospective of the Magical Rainbow Sponge crafting videos and a tribute to its star, Dee Gruenig; a new montage of exercise videos, including a Christian workout called “Believercise” and a tongue aerobics tape called “Oral Aerobics;” and a mysterious New Age video called “Elimination: The First Step.”
