Today, the Calgary Underground Film Festival has pulled the curtain on the lineup for their 15th annual event, and we've got the full batch of films for you to peruse. The event, which runs from April 16 to 22 at the Globe Cinema, will offer an impressive 55 films.
"I remember the day we started this festival and our vision was to grow within our means, screen provocative, boundary-pushing independent film, build a solid community, and to really make sure we were creating a festival as fans, for fans," co-founder and festival director Brenda Lieberman said in a press release. "I'm excited we've reached 15 years, continually growing, and achieving what we set out to do! I love this festival, and what we've become so far!"
Highlights at the festival include a spotlight on Lynne Ramsay with screenings of Ratcatcher and We Need to Talk About Kevin along with a screening of her new film You Were Never Really Here.
The fest also includes the return of the Found Footage Festival, the indie game CUFFcade, the beloved Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat Cereal Cartoon Party, multiple shorts packages and a secret screening of an upcoming film.
That said, the star of the show is the batch of feature films. Here's the full list of films:
All You Can Eat Buddha (directed by Ian Lagarde), Allure (directed by Carlos and Jason Sanchez), American Animals (directed by Bart Layton), An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn (directed by Jim Josking), Blood & Donuts (directed by Holly Dale), Fake Tattoos (directed by Pascal Plante), Freaks and Geeks: The Documentary (directed by Brent Hodge), High Fantasy (directed by Jenna Cato Boss), Jack of All Trades (directed by Harv Grazer and Stu Stone), Knuckleball (directed by Michael Peterson), Kusama - Infinity (directed by Heather Lenz), Let the Corpses Tan (directed by Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani), Mexman (directed by Josh Polon), Paper Year (directed by Rebecca Addelman), Pin Cushion (directed by Deborah Haywood), Revenge (directed by Coralie Fargeat), Roller Dreams (directed by Kate Hickey), The Secret Poppo (directed by Nevi Cline, Zach Harris and Sean Pierce), Slave to the Grind (directed by Doug Robert Brown), Tigers Are Not Afraid (directed by Issa López), Time Share (Tiempo Compartido) (directed by Sebastian Hofmann), To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story (directed by Derek Dennis Herbert), Top Knot Detective (directed by Aaron McCann and Dominic Pearce), Vampire Clay (directed by Soîchi Umezawa) and You Were Never Really Here (directed by Lynne Ramsay).
