Bringing Back the Video Store

Eric Knobel is reviving the golden age of video stores in Minneapolis with a nonprofit called The Video Store MPLS, aiming to preserve physical media and recreate the magic of browsing shelves for movie discoveries. With over 3,000 titles already donated and a goal of tens of thousands, the project fights against streaming’s algorithm-driven oblivion. Their 30-day fundraiser kicks off August 1st with a screening at Trylon Cinema — success will determine if Minneapolis gets its own real, tactile movie rental haven.
