Videoheaven

dir. Alex Ross Perry, 173 minutes

Sociocultural hub, consumer mecca, and source of existential dread; the video rental store forever changed the way we interact with movies. With narration by Maya Hawke over footage culled from hundreds of sources (from TV commercials to blockbuster films), Alex Ross Perry’s VIDEOHEAVEN tells the story of an industry’s glorious, confusing, novel, sometimes seedy, but undeniably seismic impact on American movie culture.

“With clips from more than a hundred movies, Perry channels an obsession into a fascinating encyclopedic form.” – Richard Brody, The New Yorker
