Ever since The Blair Witch Project first terrified its audiences we've known how immersive and frightening a way to tell a story the 'found footage' film can be. Gemma Files and Simon Bestwick trace the found narrative story's literary roots in classic horror fiction such as Dracula, Poe and M.R. James and how it's come full circle with authors seeking to transfer found footage to the printed page. Join them as they discuss the blurred lines between fact and fiction, the weird world of the Canadian film industry and their own experiments in the subgenre, starting with Gemma's novel Experimental Film and her novella each thing i show you is a piece of my death.
