Révolution VHS

Aug 28, 2017
En respectant les codes visuels du support, rembobinage compris, ce documentaire conte avec brio la révolution artistique, sociale et économique fomentée par la petite boîte noire, qui ira jusqu’à faire souffler un vent de liberté (et de capitalisme) sur le bloc communiste. Nourri d’interviews de compulsifs et sympathiques pionniers de la vidéo, ce film plonge aussi dans la délirante culture visuelle générée par ce média, exemples improbables à l’appui (jeu télévisé canin, manuel de séduction, cours d’aérobic avec bébé au bras…).

Founded in 2004, the Festival originated in Wisconsin and Minnesota by Joe Pickett, Nick Prueher and Geoff Haas, childhood friends from Wisconsin. While still in high school, Pickett and Prueher began collecting videos from garage sales, training videos from odd jobs, and copies of tapes from a video production house. The friends would then play selections from this collection for entertainment at parties. In 2004, Pickett and Prueher quit their day jobs to focus on production of their first feature documentary, Dirty Country. They started the touring Found Footage Festival show to fund the production of the documentary. In addition to its regular touring schedule, the Festival has appeared at the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival, Just For Laughs (the Montreal comedy festival), the New York Comedy Festival, the Impakt Festival in the Netherlands, and the Central Standard Film Festival in Minneapolis, MN.

Glue Man

Nick Douglas is a documentary filmmaker's best friend. He is a 'professional expert,' a talking head that can glue any story together, a man who always has the perfect sound bite for any documentary, whether it's about Winston Churchill, Snuffy Smith or the color blue. In 'Glue Man,' Nick tells the story of how he went from a local news station's man-on-the-street to broadcasting legend at the History Channel. He also reveals his tricks of the trade, including his catch-all phrase for any subject: 'cultural touchstone for our generation.' With clips from Nick's extraordinary body of work and testimonials from esteemed colleagues, including Ken Burns, the film finally tells the story of the unsung hero behind the chyron.

Everything I Learned When My House Burned Down
7
Comedian Jacy Catlin worked for years writing comedy and self-producing short videos from an unlikely home base: A log cabin in rural Wisconsin. During a frigid winter, a fire in his wood stove spiraled out of control and his house was quickly engulfed in flames. While he and his family narrowly escaped harm, the house and all of his possessions were lost. After the smoke cleared, he decided to return to his gutted former home to make one last short film. Likely the first comedy film shot entirely inside the protagonist’s home after being destroyed by fire, Everything I Learned When My House Burned Down is a lesson in finding humor in life’s darkest moments.
