[Press release from Cleveland Cinemas.]
VHS,
the home video format which used to be a part of most Americans’ everyday
lives, has long since faded from fashion and is no longer supported by major
studios. This “dead format” is making a comeback, however. Whether it’s
nostalgia or practicality which is driving this resurgence is explored in the
new documentary ADJUST YOUR TRACKING:
THE UNTOLD STORY OF A VHS COLLECTOR.
ADJUST
YOUR TRACKING screens August 29th at 7:30 PM at
the Capitol Theatre (1390 W. 65th St.). The screening will be
followed by an in-person Q&A with filmmakers Dan Kinem and Levi Peretic. Tickets
are $9.00 for adults, $6.00 for seniors 60 and over and children 12 and under
and are available at the theatre box office or online at clevelandcinemas.com.
In honor of the screening of
ADJUST YOUR TRACKING, FUTURE VIDEO, a VHS pop-up shop, will
be open August 23rd through August 31st at 6604 Detroit
Ave. in the Gordon Square Arts District right around the corner from the
Capitol Theatre.
FUTURE
VIDEO will feature thousands of VHS tapes and will recreate
the feel of an 80’s video store and feature original movie and VHS-inspired artwork by
local artists Jake Kelly, John G and Chad Kimes. With an inventory that includes many rare titles that
are not available on DVD or Blu-Ray, FUTURE
VIDEO will stock all popular genres as well as Gay/Lesbian Cinema,
Documentaries, Blaxploitation and Spanish language. Tapes will be on sale for
as little as $.25 each.
Patrons who stop by FUTURE VIDEO on opening day will be

sales every other day as well. Some of these include “Music Monday” on August
26th when patrons will receive a free copy of 24 Hours With Sisqo or Jekyll
and Hyde on Broadway, starring David Hasselhoff with a purchase of $8 or
