VCR Party Live!
Season 2021
TV-MA
Since 2004, the Found Footage Festival has been dedicated to finding VHS tapes at thrift stores and garage sales throughout North America, sorting through all the garbage and serving up the best video treasures. Now we are launching a weekly internet show called VCR Party Live! where we broadcast from our VHS-strewn office in Brooklyn and watch videos with you live. We also show off our favorite VHS covers, tell stories from the video trenches, unbox mystery packages of video treasures, invite special guests like David Cross on the couch to comment on VHS gems from the FFF collection.
