About the festival

Showcasing the best in subversive cinema from around the world since 2006 and having exhibited across 15 states, the Druid Underground Film Festival is the widest touring underground film festival in North America. From all-night gallery screenings in LA to the most celebrated art house theaters of Manhattan, DUFF continues to blow audiences minds from coast to coast!

•In light of social distancing, we are limiting our planned screenings to Los Angeles and New York and collaborating with creative engineers to exhibit before a live audience.

•Filmmaker Reception: DUFF strives to make a winning filmmaker's screening experience both fun and productive with opportunities for filmmakers to meet other filmmakers as well as representatives of other festivals and media outlets.

•FILM THREAT says "Why not submit your film?" DUFF has received media coverage from outlets such as LA Weekly, CHUD.com, The Guardian, VICE, Ron Garmon, Citybeat, The Church of Satan, Aint It Cool News, Campus Circle, LA I Am Yours, Sean Carnage, Radio Free Silverlake, LA Record, Inside Film Magazine, Fangoria, Film News and Views, The Village Voice, LAist and many others.

After a night of bizarre films and free raffle prizes, find out why Flavorpill says DUFF doesn't so much "defy convention as mow it down, douse it in kerosene, and flick a Zippo at it"

Yearly awards are bestowed to exceptional filmmakers who consistently present provocative and uncompromising visions of cinema.

Each featured filmmaker receives a pair of tickets to the main screenings of the season, party invitations and gifts. Filmmakers may be approached for distribution through The Druid Underground Film Festival's Best of the Fest program released worldwide on DVD and other platforms.
