The Found Footage Festival is a one-of-a-kind event showcasing videos found at garage sales and thrift stores and in warehouses and dumpsters throughout the country. Curators Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (Late Show with David Letterman) will be on hand to host the screening and provide their unique observations and commentary on these found video obscurities. From the curiously-produced industrial training video to the forsaken home movie donated to Goodwill, the Found Footage Festival resurrects these forgotten treasures and serves them up in a lively celebration of all things found.

It's at 7:30 pm, Wednesday, April 14th at Malco Theatres’ Studio on the Square (2105 Court Ave.)

Admission: $10 per ticket / $8 for Indie Memphis members at the door.

A Memphis video production team helped capture an important chapter in Memphis music history for a national television broadcast chronicling the story of The Bar-Kays.

Joe Incardona of Media Source assembled the Memphis crew responsible for the on-location filming for "Unsung," the music biography series airing nationally on the TV One network.  The episode showcasing The Bar-Kays debuts on TV One on Monday, April 19, at 8 p.m.

The production team included native Memphian and former NBC News staff cameraman Richard Copley; Craig Leake, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning network news producer and current professor in film and television production at the University of Memphis; Joe Incardona, former on-air reporter for WREG-TV Memphis and president of Media Source; Randy Paige, former videographer at WGCL-TV in Atlanta and WREG-TV in Memphis; and Philip Hood, University of Memphis film and television graduate and production specialist at Media Source.

“The story of The Bar-Kays is one that really needed to be told," Incardona says. "The producer, Belma Michael Johnson of Los Angeles, has done a masterful job within this show of weaving in other elements of Memphis history, such as the events surrounding the civil rights movement, the thriving Memphis music scene, and the rise and fall of Stax Records.  This show will clearly help convey the image of Memphis as one of the coolest, most soulful places in the world.”

TV One is carried in Memphis by Comcast and DirecTV.
