London Underground Film Festival (UK): 09/16/13
We are looking for short and feature length films that are non-commercial and non-mainstream. Our concern is to show films from those unique corners of cinema that would normally be ignored or rejected by the commercially driven cinemas. We are interested in the art of cinema, how film can experiment with form and challenge our ideas of what a film is and could be. We specifically seek work that is experimental, poetic, original, underground and unique. We want to show films that will excite, challenge, surprise and enthrall people and give them a cinematic experiment that they won’t forget. We look forward to seeing your film! DVD, PAL format, UK or Region free.
