Sudbury’s Tiny Underground Film Festival (STUFF)

STUFF is for cinephiles, yes – and supporters of Northerners being the key creatives in independent film.

Like our friends at UP HERE FEST like to say: “Keep it weird, Sudbury…” STUFF will incline towards films which don’t follow a traditional structure, or films which are subversive, wild and weird.

We showcase low and no-budget artist-driven film projects from Northerners (all genres considered), as well as experimental, animation, avant-garde from the best.

Sudbury’s Tiny Underground Film Festival proudly accepts entries on FilmFreeway, the world’s #1 way to enter film festivals and creative contests. Submissions of short films for STUFF 2024 are open on FilmFreeway to September 11. 

Tickets and Passes available

SATURDAY OCTOBER 5   2:30 PM

ROUGH CUTS

Rough Cuts is a first of its kind at our festival. A full program dedicated to works in progress from Sudbury’s emerging filmmakers. We want to provide a space for artists still sorting the kinks in their projects out. There is a noticeable gap in the filmmaking opportunities throughout the city and region, the goal of this program is to help our emerging filmmakers build up their skill set as well as form a community to bridge the gap.

Works submitted will be reviewed by Festival staff and if selected reviewed by a panel of local industry experts. The short film will then be featured in the program and shown Saturday October 5. After the program a moderated panel featuring the experts will occur and filmmakers will get the chance along with others to ask for feedback as well as general advice.

ROUGH CUTS INDUSTRY PANEL   3:30 pm

Moderated by: Isak Valliancourt

Featuring: Andreanna Germain, Dustin Moore (Moore Film and Sound), Bosmo (Here Kitty Kitty Productions)

David Lynch’s 1977 debut feature, Eraserhead, is both a lasting cult sensation and a work of extraordinary craft and beauty.
