La Vidéoshop

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 08/06/2015 - 12:21

La Vidéoshop is the first and last store in a video rental chain that will never stretch from North America to France. La Vidéoshop will offer videos that you can’t find at a video shop. Avant-garde, anti-commercial, and DIY. La Vidéoshop will be located in a space that we can’t afford (Do you have any idea how much it costs to rent this place?). La Vidéoshop doesn’t sell anything. We don’t charge admission to the nightly screenings. Even the wine is free. Our business model is fatally flawed. La Vidéoshop won’t last. Enquire within for franchising opportunities. One day, there won’t be a Vidéoshop near you.

Dates:
Thursday, June 18, 2015 (All day) to Tuesday, June 30, 2015 (All day)
Venue:
La Vidéoshop - Paris, France
