Brisbane Underground Film Festival

Overview

Although it may be overshadowed by the enormous BIFF, the folks behind BUFF (Brisbane Underground Film Festival) probably prefer being the lesser known film fest in town. Instead of big Hollywood actors, we have young up and comers. Instead of critical acclaim, we have cult favourites.

The Brisbane Powerhouse is shining a light on these oft-overlooked artists over a three day period. This is film with a twist, where being outrageous is encouraged, where nothing is too low-brow and the biggest winning factor is out-right entertainment.

Take note: being underground does not mean lacking in vision or creativity, as these directors, writers and actors have some serious chops. The festival has shown such underground gems like Dogtooth, Hobo with a Shotgun and The Comedy, all amazing independent films. Who knows which of 2013’s features will be added to that illustrious list in years to come?
