Rad Poster for Rewind This! VHS Documentary

IPF Productions’ Rewind This! is “the definitive account of the home video revolution.”

Home video changed the way the world consumed films. The cultural and historical impact of the VHS tape was enormous.

The team has spoken to filmmakers, studios, archivists, rental chain operators, personal collectors and media experts to create an overview of the video era that is both informative and celebratory. The film will premiere at SXSW Film Festival in Austin March 2013.
