The 2008 AUFF will showcase every genre of independent film from across the world during this celebration of the independent artist. The Atlanta Underground Film Festival will also host many special events, including the two day Animation Attack! and the annual DocuFest Atlanta. Atlanta Underground Film Festival serves as a forum where independent artists can thrive outside the mainstream arena. Creative artists who continuously break the boundaries of film, video, art and music are promoted through AUFF, so they too have a voice in a market which is typically saturated with commercial entertainment designed to satisfy the audience's expectations. Much more than the traditional stuffy film festival, the Atlanta Underground Film Festival is proud to have showcased thousands of local, national, and international shorts and feature films, live music, art, and pleny of parties. We are a laid-back film festival who is serious about promoting great talent. Atlanta Underground Film Festival was created by filmmakers for filmmakers who are looking to get their films out there.
Atlanta Underground Film Festival
what the press is saying: "For four years running, Eric Panter has curated an Atlanta Underground Film Festival featuring the kind of oddball picks that fly below most mainstream film festivals' radar." Felicia Feaster, Creative Loafing 2007
"The fourth annual Atlanta Underground Film Festival makes good use of the second word in the event's title. This is a fest that encourages artists to break boundaries, and moviegoers should arrive braced to often see challenging and edgy experimental films." Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution 2007 Felicia Feaster, Creative Loafing 2006
"As displayed by the Atlanta Underground Film Festival, such off-the-radar fare includes gonzo documentaries, abstract experiments in form, and enigmatic, subtitled tales from foreign lands." Curt Holman, Creative Loafing 2005
"Fans and filmmakers alike have long lamented the shortage of venues suitable for showcasing non-mainstream films in Atlanta, but with the emergence of the Atlanta Underground Film Festival, things will soon change." Chad Radford, Creative Loafing 2004
