Sudbury's Tiny Underground Film Festival (STUFF) returns this year for its second edition on September 23. Presented by the region's arthouse cinema co-op, STUFF takes place at Sudbury Indie Cinema (162 Mackenzie Street) and focuses on low-to-no-budget experimental films, made locally, nationally and internationally.
The 2023 edition of STUFF features three full-length films and two shorts programmes, which include a local filmmaker and video game artist programme with panels, artist talks and/or live Q&A sessions.
"Both shorts programmes present a wide range of film styles and genres. It's going to be a wild ride of film creativity," festival founder Beth Mairs said in a press release, "and so exciting, especially for the many filmmakers enjoying their festival premiere in Sudbury at STUFF to have a live audience to react to their work and foster dialogue."
The features programmes will see local Anishinaabe filmmaker Darlene Naponse's 2022 film Stellar return to the big screen. The STUFF organizers will also extend the meaning of "underground" very literally to the world of mining, as the 1976 classic documentary Harlan Country, USA screens in the coveted 7 p.m. ET time slot, with 1993's Farewell My Concubine closing out the festival, restored in remastered 4K for its 30th anniversary.
Seniors aged 60 and above will be able to attend all of the daytime STUFF screenings for free — thanks to a community grant from the Co-operators — and may reserve spots in advance or show identification at the door for rush seating. All-access passes are available for $35 until this Friday (September 15), when the price increases to $45.
