On July 17th, 18th and 19th, the Arkansas Underground Film Festival (ARKUFF) www.arkuff.com will be taking place at the historic Malco Theater. This is a great opportunity for locals and visitors alike to screen films ranging from surrealist (Friday the 17th), pop culture and avant garde (Saturday the 18th), to contemporary experimentalist (Sunday the 19th).
Many of the filmmakers are well-known icons in the underground film and art scenes around the world. Some featured artists and subjects, such as Salvador Dali, Jim Henson, Andy Warhol, William Burroughs and Yoko Ono are household names. Works by other artists, such as George Melies, Luis Bunuel, Stan Brakhage, and Maya Deren may sound less familiar, but are no less noteworthy.
ARKUFF has put together a very special festival and we should be proud to live in a community where events like these are becoming more and more commonplace. We encourage you to attend the Arkansas Underground Film Festival and would also like to offer you our list of films (and books) from the above artists (click their names to locate their works in our card catalog).
