AnimeNEXT 2009: The Found Footage Documentary - 1st Public Screening!

  • Wonderville 1186 Broadway Brooklyn, NY, 11221 United States (map)

The anime con experience of yesteryear packed into a hot wild 80 minutes.

AnimeNEXT 2009: The Found Footage documentary aims to simply evoke the magic of the anime convention golden years via a preserved three day convention experience, nothing more nothing less.

Comprised entirely of old digi-cam footage from an era before everything was manicured for social media & the cell phone camera, the documentary throws you right into the con, forcing all to bask in awe of these bygone, earnest weebs; Heart filled to brim the power of friendship and anime, lacking any and all shame. Most people who've seen the film have laughed, many have cried, a few dubbed it incomprehensible, and one called it absolute dreck!

This is the first time the film will be screened to the public, will it bring you down memory lane or drive you to madness? In anime convention tradition, the documentary screening will be paired with a couple of classic anime con panels so get there early!: Anime Burger Time by Evan Minto (Azuki.co, Ani-Gamers) The Great Gundam Gebate, featuring a panel of Newtype Level Gundam Nerds. We encourage old cosplay and kigurumi's to this totally free event!

Hope you join us Sunday, March 16th from 2PM to 5PM!
