MUFF time!
January 29th 2010 19:53
The Melbourne Underground Film Festival is proud to officially announce the dawn of its eleventh year in this exciting new decade. The call for entries to the 2010 festival has now officially opened for all national and international films, and the MUFF team is buckling down and prepping for the announcement of new festival plans, events, and of course, the 2010 MUFF theme.
Major MUFF X awards were taken out by Nathan Chrisoffel's sci-fi epic Eraser Children (which has since enjoyed award-winning screening as the opening film of the Fantastic Planet Film Festival), Dominic Deacon's exploitation flick Bad Habits (which has recently secured American DVD distribution) and Andrew Scarano's documentary Into the Shadows, which has played at cinemas all over the country since its premiere.
So great was the success of the 2009 festival that the MUFF team are ready to jump straight back in for another round of subverting the OZ cinema status quo. Plans are already underway at undisclosed locations and wheels are in motion to make MUFF 11 bigger, better with added bite in the year to come. Expect more guests, meaner films, more awards for shorts and our aggressive and unique retrospectives. The call for entries is open for both
shorts and features of all varieties, with entry details to be found on the MUFF website.
The MUFF team look forward to seeing you all for another year of deviancy, debauchery and damned good Indy entertainment at the 11th annual festival! Get to it boppers!

The Beautiful and Damned joins The Pack
The new feature for MUFF director Richard Wolstencroft will be released through Peter Castaldi's new distribution company The Pack in 2010. It will have a theatrical run in Australian capitals and play some regional engagements before a DVD release later in 2010.
The Beautiful and Damned had its World Premiere at The F.Scott Fitzgerald Festival last October in Baltimore after being sneak previewed at MUFF X in 09. It will have its Official Australian Premiere in Sydney at the cool new Oz Film Festival The Australian Film Festival in April.
Wolstencroft is also planning to shoot the second part of his low budget "March On Rome" feature trilogy in the second half of 2010.
