CUFFCast Calgary Underground Film Festival

On this installment of CUFFCast, we welcome Brenda Lieberman to the studio to discuss the origins of the Calgary Underground Film Festival, her programming work with the Calgary International Film Festival and how one mighty lady has helped shaped Calgary's entire film festival landscape! Cam and Rhett also dig into their giant stack of unwatched discs to shine a light on some recently released gems. 

With our main festival rapidly approaching, the CUFF lead programmers gathered to break down all the excellent films that we have in store for the 2022 Calgary Underground Film Festival! We are thrilled to discuss modern classics ranging from the new films from euro-horror auteur Peter Strickland to a documentary on Calgary's friendly local came store The Sentry Box. LINKS:CUFF 2022 LINE-UP - https://www.calgaryundergroundfilm.org/films
