Montreal Underground Film Festival 2012, May 17-20


The 7th Montreal Underground Film Festival begins tonight with an opening night screening at 8pm at Sala Rossa on St-Laurent. The opening program consists of a dozen short films by filmmakers from across Canada.

MUFF celebrates and promotes low-budget filmmakers and those who challenge the boundaries of mainstream Hollywood and the conventional film aesthetic attitude. Their focus is primarily on independent, experimental and avant-garde short films.

The 7th Montreal Underground Film Festival takes place on May 17 at Sala Rossa (4848 boul. St-Laurent) and from May 18-20 at Peut-être Vintage (6029A ave. du Parc, corner of Van Horne).
