It’s not the Calgary Underground Film Festival without an evening at the Found Footage Festival (FFF) with Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher. I was really excited for this event despite always hearing about it, this was the first time I had the chance to attend. For those of you unfamiliar with Pickett and Prueher, these childhood friends have been involved in the media and film industry for quite some time. However, since their teenage years, in the early 90s, they have pursued a strange passion of collecting VHS tapes. This hobby has resulted in vast collections of tapes which they have curated and presented, since 2005, as a part of the FFF. However, the FFF isn’t just about these videotapes and their outrageous contents. Over the years, through the collection of these tapes, Pickett and Prueher have come to build a community that includes both avid found footage enthusiasts as well as many of the creators of these timeless videos.
