ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Found Footage Festival

The found footage festival is like when you find a really cool toy or treasure that someone else lost or threw away, and you get to show it to all your friends. But instead of toys or treasures, it's videos that people made a long time ago and forgot about, or they thought were too silly or embarrassing to keep. These videos can be funny, weird, or just really interesting to watch.

The people who run the found footage festival have gone around to lots of different places - like thrift stores, flea markets, and even dumpsters - to find these kinds of videos. Once they have a bunch, they put them together and make a big show out of them, almost like a movie. They show the videos on a big screen and people come to watch and laugh or be amazed at what they're seeing.

So, really, the found footage festival is just a bunch of people who love old and rare videos, and want to share them with other people who love them too. It's kind of like a really cool, grown-up show-and-tell!
