CUFF has wrapped up its first year of bringing alternative film and video to Calgary audiences. To keep things lively and adventurous after our first film, TAMALA 2010, we relocated Cowards Bend the Knee to the QAS/EMMEDIA Screening Room to an audience just shy of 40. After our truly underground change of venue - we screened the rest of the festival at that location. CUFF DJ's and after parties were graciously hosted by the Drum & Monkey, located at 1201 1ST SW.

THANK YOU to the Quickdraw Animation Society (QAS) and EMMEDIA Gallery & Production Society, who are located in 351 - 11 AVE SW.We also wish to thank The Venue - who did a wonderful job assisting us with relocating.

Lastly, many thanks to all of our volunteers, sponsors, and to the Calgary Region Arts Foundation. Without their assistance, CUFF would not have happened.

CUFF Trivia...

The AGC hosted our adjunct exhibition of film and video - based works, Art on the Installment Plan

The Calgary Underground Film Festival (CUFF) is a fresh new festival committed to the celebration of alternative vision showcasing independent, provocative and experimental films and videos. The festival will features works that defy convention in form, style, and content by screening a wide spectrum of contemporary works in a variety of categories: feature, documentary, animation, short, and experimental.

Founded in 2003, CUFF is a collective group of arts administrators, festival organizers, and media artists who saw a void in alternative film and video exhibition for Calgary film enthusiasts. Calgary's thriving and growing arts community earmarks for us the perfect opportunity to bring in something new, innovative and challenging. The underground film festival theme is something that, new to Calgary, only builds upon what other major cities around the world have already initiated.
