The Joburg Underground Film Festival is committed to presenting experimental, radical, and unorthodox cinema from all corners of the globe. 

As one of the only festivals in Sub-Saharan Africa with an exclusive focus on experimental short films, we aim to showcase groundbreaking African cinema alongside other great films from around the world. 

This year's program includes a range of boundary pushing work characterized by technical and aesthetic innovation, with film's utilizing various mediums and modes of production including stop motion, point-and-shoot compact cameras, flatbed scanners as imaging tools, augmented digital pixelation, 8mm and 16mm film, found footage, and cell phone video.
