"The fourth annual Atlanta
Underground Film Festival makes good use of the second word in the event's
title. This is a fest that encourages artists to break boundaries, and
moviegoers should arrive braced to often see challenging and edgy
experimental films."
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution 2007
"For four years running, Eric Panter has curated an Atlanta Underground
Film Festival featuring the kind of oddball picks that fly below most
mainstream film festivals' radar."
Felicia Feaster, Creative Loafing 2007"Like the Navy Seals, the one thing the annual Atlanta Underground Film Festival (AUFF) always profits from is the element of surprise."
Felicia Feaster, Creative Loafing 2006"As displayed by the Atlanta Underground Film Festival, such off-the-radar fare includes gonzo documentaries, abstract experiments in form, and enigmatic, subtitled tales from foreign lands."
Curt Holman, Creative Loafing 2005
"Fans
and filmmakers alike have long lamented the shortage of venues suitable
for showcasing non-mainstream films in Atlanta, but with the emergence
of the Atlanta Underground Film Festival, things will soon change."
Chad Radford, Creative Loafing 2004

The Fifth Annual Atlanta Underground Film Festival (AUFF) will take place August 20 - 24, 2008 in Atlanta, Georgia. The 2008 AUFF will showcase every genre of independent film from across the world during this incredible celebration of independent artists.
The Atlanta Underground Film Festival is a forum where filmmakers can thrive outside the mainstream arena. Creative artists who continuously break the boundaries of film, video, art and music are promoted through AUFF, so they too have a voice in a market typically saturated with commercial entertainment designed to satisfy the audience's expectations.
Much more than the traditional stuffy film festival, Atlanta Underground Film Festival will showcase short and feature films, art, live music and plenty of late night parties. Special events during AUFF include the Animation Attack! and DocuFest Atlanta
2008 Venues include the Plaza Theatre, Young Blood, Highland Inn Ballroom, Lenny's, The EARL and MJQ.
