"This is the story of the birth, life, death, and afterlife of the video store." An offiical trailer has debuted for a documentary film / essay film titled Videoheaven, a tribute to and love story about video stores of the past. This is the second new doc out this year from director Alex Ross Perry, along with Pavements, and it's ready for release in theaters starting in July. Only playing at art house cinemas. This doc first premiered at the Rotterdam Film Festival (IFFR) then played at the Tribeca Film Festival this summer. Since the 1980s, the video shop has been a desperately necessary space for film culture. In Videoheaven, Alex Ross Perry tells the story of the neighborhood VHS video shop in order to consider wider, changing social histories, using appropriated footage from many sources. Featuring upbeat narration by Maya Hawke. The craziest part about this is that it's a full-on 3 hour film. Not sure why there needs to be that much footage in this doc, but if you want a nostalgic trip right back to the glory days of VHS and rental shops, then this is a must see. // Continue Reading ›
