The found footage was made popular by successful horror films such as Rec or The Blair Witch Project. It also refers to a large number of fascinating documentaries or experimental films that are less known from the general public. With reels found in a flea market, CCTV footages or YouTube channels of unknown people at the other side of the planet, these images questioned and obsessed the filmmakers of the two programmes.
