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 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. CUFF is a registered not-for-profit
Society under the Alberta Societies Act.
