The Joburg Underground Film Festival is committed to presenting experimental, radical, and unorthodox cinema from all corners of the globe. This year’s lineup spans a remarkable range of production methods: from Super 8mm and found archival photographs to GTA gameplay captures, printed digital stills annotated by hand, and stop-motion animation. Filmmakers pull from memes and internet reels, video essay structures, staged scenes spliced with home movies, and the slow grammar of landscape photography.
