ADJUST YOUR TRACKING:
THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE VHS COLLECTOR This feature-length documentary that explores the ongoing devotion of a passionate subculture to what many in the mainstream think of as a "dead format." Tracing the history of the VHS tape from its glory days as a high-end luxury item, to its dark times as a discarded relic, and ultimately to its renaissance as an extremely valued (to some) reminder of a bygone era, the film features interviews with VHS collectors, video store owners, filmmakers and distributors. It is both an exploration of the power of nostalgia and a love letter to loyal champions of the underdog. Never again will you be able to pass the VHS bin at a thrift store without taking a second look. |
