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.
Photos from the ‘07 festival and after party have been posted HERE.
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
Ever wanted to know how to get a Big Mac for a dollar, see comics Denis Leary and Bill Hicks square off, or learn how to get the most from your neighborhood bodega? The Austin Underground Film Fest is back with more revolutionary programming from local and international fringe artists - three solid hours of the best in subterranean cinema. Where else can you see a hacky sack music video, educational church PSA’s, lost celebrity rarities, and an inside look at the private lives of comic book artists? AUFF ‘07: The cure for the common film fest. Advance tickets are on sale HERE. Last year’s sold out, get ‘em while they’re hot.
