Arkansas Underground Film Festival

Arkansas Underground Film Festival

Unusual films are focus of three-day event

By: From Staff Reports - The Sentinel-Record - Published: 05/12/2009
CALL FOR ENTRIES: Organizers of the independent, underground, experimental event are looking for media makers.

The Arkansas Underground Film Festival, a three-day event focusing on celebrating cutting-edge, underground film and video art, is scheduled July 17-19.

Organizers want to promote original work made on the fringes of the art world and media makers who create work outside of the cultural norm are encouraged to take part, according to the Web site.

The international festival coordinators welcome media makers from anywhere in the world to submit work and attend the event as well as live visual performances of any kind.

The festival is mainly geared toward short films under 20 minutes, but work of all lengths will be considered.

Experimental, surreal or documentary work with an edge or unusual bent is encouraged along with gritty, low-budget, found or cult work that will remain uncensored.

Acceptable screening formats will include digital video, regular 8mm, super 8mm, or 16mm, with 35mm not an available format at this time. Other formats may be acceptable, if the artist provides the screening equipment.

ARKUFF is a collaboration between the Hot Springs Documentary Film Institute and Low Key Arts.

The organizers include Dan Anderson, program director; Ben Meade, chief advisor; and Bill Solleder and Shea Childs, marketing.
