PDXtreme - Portland Underground Film Fest (4)

Festival start: 30 November 2018      Festival end: 02 December 2018

The PDXtreme Film Fest is the best damn genre festival Portland Oregon has ever seen! Taking place over 3 days at the historic Laurelhurst Theater, we showcase horror, crime, dark comedy, and everything in-between. Tales of the grotesque, the limits of the psychological, and bumps in the night whatever the cause! Does it take place in space? That's cool too.

This will be our fourth year! Continuing the traditions of the first 3 years, you can expect trophies, free beer for attending filmmakers, and no repertory films. In our first season we played 32 short films, and 13 feature films. Last year we screened 54 total films. It’s more badassness than should be allowed in one weekend!

Screening takes place at the Laurelhurst Theater, a legit theater that serves beer, wine, and pizza. In less than a minute you can walk to a variety of restaurants, bars, and other examples of Portland life.

We promise a rollicking good time and a slate packed with great films. We can't do that without the filmmakers, so submit your films now! International films accepted. Diversity and originality are not only welcome, but also encouraged. Absolutely no ratings restrictions, ever.

Winners in various categories receive a custom designed trophy! Our first year, we awarded trophies for Best Feature, best Comedic Short, Best Dramatic Short, and Best Practical FX. This year several categories will be added!
Each category includes nominations. Attending the fest does not increase a filmmaker's chance of winning. Trophies will be mailed at our expense. But it is cooler to put it directly in your hand.

1. You should have all applicable festival rights.

2. There are no completion date or premiere limitations. However, preference will be given to films without public distribution.

3. You retain all rights, but we reserve the right to use all provided promotional materials, as well as short film segments where necessary. If we accepted it, we want to really push it.

4. All films not in English must have English subtitles.

5. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
