The Calgary Underground Film Festival would be nothing without the support of our community, business partners and sponsors. We would like to thank The Calgary Region Arts Foundation (CRAF) for their second year of support! We would also like to thank the following sponsors:
CJSW Celebrates 20 "official" years! CJSW Radio has a long and colorful history that stretches back forty-six years. Starting in 1955 as a weekly 15-minute program "Varsity Vista," broadcast on CFAC radio. CJSW was later heard on 106.9 cable at The University of Calgary campus and throughout Calgary. After repeated attempts at gaining an FM license, CJSW became Calgary's 13th FM station on January 15th, 1985.
CJSW is run by a paid full-time staff of four, eight executive members, and over 200 volunteers. With an incredible and oft-envied amount of support from within the many various communities in this city, CJSW remains an important radio alternative in Calgary, broadcasting a mix of music, arts, spoken word, multi-cultural and political programming.
EMMEDIA Gallery & Production Society - Our mandate emphasizes the diversity of contemporary media art practice. We support the innovative, challenging work of a variety of artists working in many genres. Our support to media artists extends beyond those working in video art to encompass those exploring diverse forms of time-based art including experimental film, installation, documentary, animation, performance, new media, audio, and web based projects. We foster the long term vitality of the Alberta media arts community by providing tools, workshops and production incentive programs. Beyond our extensive support of artists, one of EMMEDIA's achievements is the ongoing development of a culturally knowledgeable, multi-layered audience.
EMMEDIA is community driven; we respond to the needs and requests of Calgary artists, writers, curators, producers, EMMEDIA members and the interested public at large. In addition, EMMEDIA regularly presents programming and special events devoted to the Electronic Media Arts. We maintain an archive dedicated to Alberta media art (over 800 titles), provide educational and advocacy resources to artists, and offer access to communication resources that assist artists in networking with other media artists and organizations worldwide.
We are proudly independent and family owned and are Canada's largest independent bookseller. Our commitment is to grow no larger than our ability to provide well-informed personal service. So we operate only four stores: at Portage Place in Winnipeg, Grant Park in Winnipeg, on 8th Street in Saskatoon, and on Stephen Avenue in Calgary.

Casablance
Video & Sound was
conceived 20 years ago by owner MLA Jon Lord, who strongly believed in
supporting all time Classics and strong Independent films. Although Jon
is too busy at his political calling, we still feel it is important to
supply films beyond and including the "blockbusters" that everyone
has on the New Release wall.
We support Live Theatre as well as the Independent Movie Theatres and
Arts Institutes (refer to our Links) as well as many schools, charities
and people. Two locations in Calgary:
