This year, BUFF will screen 13 feature-length films, and 70 shorts. The selected films represent approximately 15% of the submissions. Feder notes that many of these films will have a short shelf-life – they are not likely to get distribution outside the festival, and so the festival represents a rare opportunity for film lovers to enjoy a diverse program of high quality, challenging, non-mainstream films.
When asked about BUFF’s future, Feder said,
“I would love for BUFF to be among the top five internationally recognized underground film festivals – with the Chicago Underground and New York Underground Film Festivals. I'd like to be able to keep a presence year ‘round co-presenting films at other festivals and putting on our own screenings for films that otherwise wouldn't be seen in Boston.”
The Boston Underground Film Festival will be held from March 22 through March 25 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Films will be screened at the historic Brattle Theater, 40 Brattle Street in Cambridge, and the AMC Harvard Square, 10 Church Street in Cambridge. All screening tickets are $5 (advance tickets may be purchased through the venue website) and an all-access festival pass is $50 (advance purchase through the festival website). For information on other festival-related events and admission see the BUFF website.
