Sydney Underground Film Festival: Sydney Underground Film Festival
12 September @ 11:00 am - 11:00 pm AEST

Sydney’s favourite underground film festival, the Sydney Underground Film Festival (SUFF) is back, and it’s as kooky and eclectic as ever, this time celebrating its 20th anniversary back where it all began at the Factory Theatre from 10-13 September.
Over the last two decades, SUFF have cemented themselves as a force of creativity in Sydney’s arts and culture scene, with programs that continue to promote independent, experimental and provocative filmmaking.
Drawn from the highest ever entries, with over 780 films submitted for consideration, this year’s diverse program features films, documentaries, shorts and more that stretch the status quo, exploring the margins of cinematic expression and proving no end of creativity is undeserving of its time in the spotlight.
SUFF are thrilled to bring this festival back to its roots at Factory Theatre, in this homecoming celebration of film at its most creative.
