Melbourne Underground Film Festival
The Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF) is an Australian independent film festival featuring mostly genre, controversial, transgressive and avant garde material. History The Melbourne Underground Film Festival was formed out of disagreements over the content and running of the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF). When director Richard Wolstencroft's film ''Pearls Before Swine'' was not accepted by the Melbourne International Film Festival, Wolstencroft claimed it was because his film was too confrontational for the tastes of MIFF. As a response to the film's rejection by MIFF, Wolstencroft founded MUFF in 2000 as an alternative independent film festival, featuring mostly genre, controversial, transgressive and avant garde material. However, this is ironic as the cult film ''Nekromantik'' was denied from being screened at the festival in 2001. MUFF has been known for controversy with a screening of Bruce LaBruce's ''L.A. Zombie, LA Zombie'' gaining worldwide attent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
