On Saturday February 26th, 2005 Found Magazine in collaboration with the Coolidge Corner Theater presents the off-kilter, strange, unexplained, and disturbing world of lost video and film.

The one time screenings of these unexplainable forgotten, oddities, and most convincingly underground obscurities in the world of filmmaking. They range from recordings at a Christian Missionary to the kitty litter outtakes are beyond bizarre and fascinating to see these lost and discarded films. The screening gave the sold-out crowd of three hundred film fans who jam-packed the theater. I couldn't believe the attention this once in a lifetime festival grabbed the audience with such enthusiasm, and anticipation for what will be next? For all of you who are "Night Wolfs" you'll enjoy this cinematic creation because it begins at the stroke of midnight.

It fulfills the appetite for the never-seen-before film and video junkie who thrive in this world. It has it's language, culture, and bringing these videos to the big screen. The Found Video Show will probably appear in a few other film venues to satisfy their nostalgic cravings.

One of my personal favorites was a video something called "The Original Strength: The World's #1 Plyometric Training Shoe". Talk about repetitive advertising it bothered me so much it was annoying, and aggravating I simply enjoyed this clumsy TV commercial. (My estimated guess that it was made sometime during the early to mid-eighties.) If you ever have a chance to collect a random assortment of thrown-away VHS tapes I recommend putting together your own festival of the weird, and unusual kind.

It all comes down folks to one very avoided, unanswerable question that has been wandering my thoughts. These long since abandoned video and film snippets from years ago who would want them? Unless, you have a creative, distinctive forum to display these treasures of long ago. Found Magazine has created its very own cult following of regulars who religiously send in material for publication. It's a venue of art, collages, all mended together to a paperback magazine that has taking the U.S. by storm.

Found Magazine was founded at that particular notion asking any Joe out there to send in love letters, comic strips, kids homework, napkins, and old telephone bills. It's just like the saying goes if you "find it, send it" in they will publish it for you in the next issue. Be sure, to tap into there website for further information about this incredible underground reading experience.
