Brisbane Underground Film Festival

Overview

There is no denying that every single person in the world loves going to secret events (this is a proven fact), which may sound a tad like it defeats the purpose of underground events but is instead actually quite convenient. Why? Because, generally speaking, if you look hard enough there is most likely one happening somewhere near you - granted of course that you know where to look and know the right people.

However, if all that research sounds like too much hassle for you, then you owe the Brisbane Powerhouse a big pat on the back. Announcing their second Brisbane Underground Film Festival to the public only proves that they know how lazy the youth of today are, instead of discrediting the festival’s cult status.

The festival runs for the weekend of the 13^th to the 15^th, playing movies that appear to have no relation to each other apart from their ‘underground’ status and their fantastic film titles. After perusing the list and judging wholly superficially, highlights go to ‘Who Took the Bomp? Le Tigre on Tour’ and ‘Hobo With a Shotgun’.
