Videoheaven
A passion project 10 years in the making from Perry – an uncompromising independent filmmaker and ex-employee of fabled NYC video store Kim’s Video – Videoheaven charts the lifespan of video stores, from their beginnings in the late 1970s to their near-extinction in the 2010s. Inspired by Daniel Herbert’s 2014 book Videoland: Movie Culture at the American Video Store, this rigorously researched essay film remixes a wide range of film and TV excerpts to craft a razor-sharp pop-cultural chronicle, featuring everything from Scream and Benny’s Video to Muriel’s Wedding and Seinfeld. An ode to a bygone era that deftly avoids the trappings of a nostalgia trip, it’s essential viewing for any card-carrying cinephile.
