Special Premiere Screening! Videoheaven

Special Premiere Screening!
Recorded intro from director Alex Ross Perry!

Alex Ross Perry (Pavements) brings us this exhaustive, entertaining video essay about the rise and fall of that great North American institution: the video store. With an elegiac voice over from Maya Hawke (Stranger Things), VIDEOHEAVEN presents an epic collage of images—taken from television advertisements, news broadcasts, training videos, and movies—to weave a historical tapestry of the history of video stores and their (almost complete) death at the hands of Netflix, the internet, and streaming services.
