Join us for the 18th Annual Atlanta Underground Film Festival held September 16 - 19, 2021.
We are one of the only live film festivals held during the 2020 pandemic.
No matter what the circumstances are, the show will go on!
Since 2004, the Atlanta Underground Film Festival (AUFF) has served as a forum where independent filmmakers thrive outside the mainstream arena.
AUFF exposes and promotes creative artists who work outside the system to create DIY, grass-roots movies that break the boundaries of film and video.
Through the festival, these talented independent filmmakers now have a voice in a market typically saturated with commercial entertainment designed to satisfy the audience's expectations.
Much more than the traditional stuffy film festival, Atlanta Underground Film Festival is a non-stop party celebrating short and feature films in a down-to-earth, welcoming setting where filmmakers and fans are encouraged to connect and collaborate.
After all these years, we are so proud to have showcased thousands and thousands of talented film and video artists of every experience level.
Enter your film to the next Atlanta Underground Film Festival and join us for this unique celebration of indie films!
