The Found Footage Festival, which hosts/curators Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett say has been “unearthing VHS monstrosities since 2004,” comes to Cincinnati with a new lineup of video footage and live comedy. Prueher and Pickett have built their found-footage film empire by searching garage sales, thrift stores, warehouses and even dumpsters. Among the new clips in their 2014 show are recently discovered archival footage of “the world’s most obnoxious home-shopping hosts, John & Johnny” and an instructional video from 1997 titled, redundantly, How to Have Cybersex on the Internet.
7 p.m. Monday, June 23. $5. MOTR Pub, 1345 Main St., Over-the-Rhine, foundfootagefest.com.
