Festival Statement
Arizona Underground Film Festival is Arizona’s only premier underground cult film festival! Being a non-profit film festival, we make it our sole mission to showcase the work of filmmakers with defiantly independent visions. We are on a quest to represent every genre of independent film from across the world celebrating the artist, and their work.
Now in our third year we are taking Arizona by storm with screenings in both Tucson and Phoenix during the week of Sept 18th to 25th. This 8 day festival will cover categories from Narrative, Horror, Documentaries, Experimental, Animation, and we are proud to be the only festival to offer an Exploitation category. Join us in the underground!
Awards
We will be giving out awards to the best feature and short for Narrative, Horror, Experimental, Animation, Documentaries, and Exploitation.

General Admission: $7 – Tickets will be available for purchase at the box office for all screenings, an hour before the film.
Festival Passes: $65 (LIMITED TO ONLY 100 PASSES) – Festival Passes are now on sale! Only a 100 Festival Passes will be sold for this year’s festival. The pass includes admission to all the screenings (Sept. 18-25), parties, and the invitation only closing night party gala! Festival passes will only be sold through the website, and are sold on a first come first serve basis until all are gone! The festival passes are valued at $150, but we are selling them for less than half the price! So we do expect these to sell out very fast.
