  • UFF: Recalibration Party

    The Unnamed Footage Festival and FOUNDTV present The Recalibration Party – the annual Opening Night Party where we enjoy some in-world-camera films and complimentary beverage! This year we’ll be showcasing two new titles from our friends in Reno, NV, The HorrorDadz: Mike Rock’s The Ruck March and newcomer Dustin Tamplen’s Souvenir. Not only do these guys make awesome films, they crew them with an array of military, police, EMT, and firefighting veterans, offering an opportunity to use filmmaking as therapy and providing an important service to their community. 
     
    We’ll end the night with another tradition – the Power Hour! Found Footy 2024 “Gone But Not Forgotten” is 60 clips in 60 minutes each followed by a toast, but it’s also a 2024 retrospective. All the clips featured this year have been selected from films released (or screened) in 2024, with free beer donated by Lime Ventures.
     
    Tickets available through FilmFreeway and at the door. 
     
    The full festival lineup is available at UnnamedFootageFestival.com

  • The Unnamed Footage Festival: It Doesn’t Blair Any Better Than Witch

    To celebrate the festival, The Unnamed Footage Festival began the tradition of hosting a party before the fest begins in earnest, presenting The Blair Witch Project in a way you probably haven’t seen before. This screening is going to be pure vibes, so don’t worry if you’re having too much fun socializing. After taking some time to relax, we’ll sit down for a secret screening of something from the Blair Witch universe that’s never shown before in theaters. It gives filmmakers and fans a chance to meet each other, meet the UFF team, have a few free drinks, and get in the mood for UFF.
    This year, we’re celebrating with our friends Nick Toti and Rachel Kempf, whose film It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This has been a massive success, selling out Alamo Drafthouses and pissing off people who can’t see it online.

  • OC: SISTERS’ PICTURES

    LYNNE SACHS + SCHEDELBAUER + KUC

    We’ve assembled a godsmackin’ troika of the most superhumanly gifted women makers of our time, a truly fortuitous curatorial coup that coincides with Sachs‘ visit to theBay Area. She is showing a ½ hr. cut from her her new feature project, Every Contact Leaves a Trace, and fielding questions about her intentions and trajectories with this current long-form. AND: Old ATA comrade (relocated to Berlin) Sylvia Schedelbauer finally peeps back up with her 24-min. multi-layered portrait of her mother, also settled in Berlin (from Japan), an astounding feat of family-archive excavation (mostly from S8 color!) that is ever-so-meticulously ordered into a profoundly resonant, and revelatory montage. The third component of this collective debut comes from Kamila Kuc, the formerly London-based cine-artiste who has now moved to the Coast, Her Plot of Blue Sky.This jaw-dropping, never-before-seen penetration of Moroccan women’s society and sub-culture (Amazigh)–in fact enabling the women to use cameras(!)–gives voice to a huge marginalized population who are accustomed to being shuttled from forced marriage to prostitution to institutionalized old age dead-ends, by an oppressively patriarchal Arab state. $14
