The list is not public! I have some FYC that were likely not featured, but I can't be sure before the list goes live.

It's good to see a classic Peeping Tom (1960) there. It is not entirely found footage or slasher, but is pivotal for both genres and is an overall masterpiece. Moreover, if it is featured then some of my FYC are not deprived of a solid chance. FYC: Man Bites Dog (C'est arrivé près de chez vous) (1992) begins as a dark comedy but soon transforms into a snowball of drama and very genuinely felt horror of how depraved a world could be. Arguably it leaves a more lasting impression then Cannibal Holocaust which is an achievement in itself. Also happens to be one of my all-time favorite movies. This House Has People in It (2016) - even if shorts are not eligible, this one might be an exception to make the cut: firstly it actually has a whole hidden layer of footage which is hidden online and overall fairs more then an hour. Secondly, in my humble opinion it is a modern masterpiece and is a prime example that found footage genre, if done right and/or inventive enough, is far from tired. It certainly changed my perspective on genre, I can tell you that. If you haven't seen it, it is officially available on YouTube (although aired originally on Adult Swim) and is highly recommended. Alan Resnick and the whole AB Video Solutions/Wham City Comedy group are names to look out: they already have cult following, but one day they will definitely hit it so big, residual ringing will be everywhere.

Not really found footage in the conventional sense, but the original Japanese version of The Ring still creeps me out.
