Austin rock outfit The Little Gentlemen, who played AUFF ‘06, have some down ‘n’ dirty videos chopped together by two of the three minds behind Austin Underground Film.
In addition to partnering with film festival specialists B-Side, the AUFF is collaborating with Kinemastik to bring the best of Austin Underground Film to the island of Malta in the Mediterranean in July. More to come soon. In related news, if you happened to wander into the stand-up comedy venue the Velveeta Room at the Old Pecan Street Festival in Austin, you were treated to a special mini-edition of AUFF highlights from the last two years. Thanks for coming out! The AUFF is also currently working with the Campus Movie Fest to bring the best work from U.S. colleges to Austin. Info to follow.
Don’t forget, if you haven’t already you can visit our partners HERE at B-Side and rate and discuss the festival films you loved, and the ones you hated more than Dreamcatcher.
The votes have been counted, and the best film this year according to the ‘07 audience is the documentary short Drawing Between The Lines about independent cartoonist Jeffrey Brown. Congratulations to director Bruce Parsons! View the film’s trailer HERE.
Coming Sat. June 9th, 3:00 pm to the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown: AUFF 2007
