Atlanta to go underground with film event

The 21st Atlanta Underground Film Festival (AUFF) will showcase movies with themes and visuals that are considered to be outside the box.

Independent filmmakers, fans, and actors will come together next month to network, collaborate, and enjoy screenings of many non-mainstream, grassroots movies. Attendees to events such as this often have professional printers design their Business Cards to help with self-promotion.

For two decades, AUFF has encouraged thousands of creative independent video artists, giving them a voice in the customarily conventional film industry. The organization strives to ensure the best videos are highlighted and reach a wider audience.

Indie films are produced without the backing of large film studios and generally with limited budgets. They often bring forward a filmmakers' message, tend to be thought-provoking, and expand audience perspectives.

The Atlanta festival will celebrate both feature and short-length films produced by local, national, and international artists.

Numerous awards will be presented across a range of genres, such as horror, animation, comedy, drama, and documentary. The event will also recognize movies made in Georgia, as well as naming the best director and the audience's favorite film.

The AUFF takes place August 16 to 18 at the Limelight Theater, 349 Decatur Street. It is part of the larger Atlanta Film Series, which includes events throughout the year, such as a horror film festival in October.
