Underground filmfest

What will they think of next?

Giving new meaning to the phrase “an underground film festival,” Interfilm organizers in Berlin have come up with a genuinely new idea: exhibit a series of short films on monitors in Berlin subway trains and allow the passengers to be the jury.

The festival will run from January 29 to February 4, 2004. All the films will be no longer than 90 seconds and must be “free of extreme violence or obscene content.”

As exhibitors around the globe continue to think of ways of integrating artistically-minded films within the general populace, this idea sounds like a hopeful venture.

Want to submit a film yourself? The deadline is October 15, 2003.
