The Underground Isn't A Place. It's A Mindset. The 22nd Annual Atlanta Underground Film Festival Takes Place 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.
