***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Now available to order from the @VinegarSyndrome website from @ocndistro #PartnerLebal @Shudder: #TheFoundFootagePhenomenon (2021)! The Found Footage Phenomenon tracks the untold story of the found footage film, from its origins before and within Cannibal Holocaust, The Blair Witch Project and The Last Broadcast, beyond its boom in the late noughties with Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield and REC. The documentary showcases how found footage horror became a global sensation with films such as Kōji Shiraishi’s NOROI: The Curse, Shirome and Occult, The Paz Brothers’ JeruZalem, André Øvredal’s Trollhunter and also the differences between how the British and American film industries took to the genre respectively. Found footage spans four decades already and films such as Host, Death of a Vlogger and Spree have proven that it’s not done with us yet. directed by: Sarah Appleton, Phillip Escott starring: Patrick Brice, Derek Lee, André Øvredal, Eduardo Sánchez, Michael Goi 2021 / 101 min / 1.78:1 / English DTS-HD MA 5.1 Additional info: Region A Blu-ray New interview with directors Sarah Appleton and Phillip Escott Deleted Footage Trailer Booklet featuring new essay by film critic Sam Cohen English subtitles vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/fr… #BluRay #PhysicalMedia #BluRays #BoutiqueBluRay #CultMovies #DiscConnected #VinegarSyndrome #OCNDistribution #Shudder #Documentary #FoundFootage
