22nd Annual Atlanta Underground Film Festival

Enter the Underground. Exit Transformed.

The underground isn’t a place. It’s a mindset. The 22nd Annual Atlanta Underground Film Festival takes place August 8 to 10, 2025 at Limelight Theater and celebrates the raw, the rebellious, and the films that refuse to follow the rules.


AUFF is a home for films that push boundaries, break rules, and dig deeper than the mainstream ever will.  We shine a light on filmmakers who create without compromise and challenge what film can be. These are the stories that live outside the mainstream and demand to be seen.


Why Attend AUFF


Unfiltered Cinema
Experience films you won’t find anywhere else. From surreal shorts to daring features, every selection is chosen for its originality and impact. This is where underground film thrives.


Meet the Makers
Get face-to-face with the filmmakers, actors, and creatives behind the work. AUFF creates space for meaningful connections, conversation, and community.


Celebration, Not Just Ceremony
Yes, there’s a red carpet. But it’s not about glamor. It’s about honoring independent artists and celebrating the courage it takes to tell a different kind of story.


After-Parties and Special Events
Stick around after the screenings for mixers, music, and meetups with fellow indie film lovers. Every night at AUFF is a chance to connect and unwind.


A Community That Gets It
Join filmmakers, cinephiles, and creators who are passionate about storytelling that pushes boundaries and explores the unknown. AUFF is more than a festival. It’s a movement.

Whether you’re a filmmaker looking for a platform that truly values independence or an audience member searching for something authentic and off the radar, AUFF delivers a film experience that dares to be different.
