The Movie Orgy (1968)
The Movie Orgy is a legendary five-hour triumph from Joe Dante. In 1968, the future director of Gremlins and Innerspace gathered an enormous amount of 16mm prints and, with the help of producer Jon Davison (Robocop), meticulously fashioned them into what is quite possibly the world’s first found footage megamix. Comprised of commercials, news reels, clips from feature films, TV bloopers, and much more, The Movie Orgy is both a fascinating cultural artifact and a wild vortex of mashed-up magnificence. Unavailable to screen for decades and never made available on home video, the film has been preserved from the original 16mm reels, and ready to be admired in all its glory.
