Unnamed Footage Festival 2021 Announces Final Wave of Titles

Starting in 2018, Unnamed Footage Festival has showcased found footage, first-person POV cinema, and faux-documentary films. Previous festivals have been held in the historic Balboa Theatre, the Roxie Theater, and ATA in San Francisco, California but due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the festival has made the switch to an online 24-hour webathon.

A live 24-hour virtual screening event will take place on March 26th, 2021 beginning at 7 PM CDT. Badges for the event can be purchased on the website for $10 USD. The pass includes access to the entire event and an invitation to a special virtual afterparty on Saturday evening, March 27th.

Profits from ticket sales will be donated to independent and non-profit cinemas across the country, and direct donations can be made to GoFundMe.

Previously announced titles include Gillian Horvat’s I Blame Society, Eugene Kotlyarenko’s 0s & 1s, David Ellison and Drew Fortier’s Dwellers, Jake Striebel’s Poser, and a new cut of Murder Death Koreatown, a film that blurs the line between found footage and documentary.
