Since the 1980s, the video shop has been a desperately necessary space for film culture. In VIDEOHEAVEN, Alex Ross Perry tells the story of the neighbourhood video shop to consider wider, changing social dynamics, using appropriated footage from the high and lowbrow films. Filled with images and scenes from the video store revolution of the late 20th century and narrated by Maya Hawke, VIDEOHEAVEN emerges from the grand tradition of the essay film, creating a monumental cinematic history of the beloved video store of a now bygone era.
