Arizona Underground Film Festival (18)

Início do Festival: 17 Setembro 2025      Fim do Festival: 21 Setembro 2025

Arizona Underground Film Festival is Arizona’s only premier underground cult film festival! Celebrating our 18th year, we make it our sole mission to showcase the work of filmmakers with defiantly independent visions. We are on a quest to represent every genre of independent film from across the world celebrating the artist, and their work. We will cover categories from Narrative, Horror, Documentaries, Experimental, Animation, and Exploitation. Join us in the underground!

Many of the films that have screened at the festival over the years have gone on to receive distribution from the festival screening, or attention from press and other festivals. We have been the World Premiere for many films over the past 10 years, and we will continue to premiere films, and showcase the best of independent cinema.
