The Atlanta Underground Film Festival wrapped up its 7th successful year back on Aug. 29 and has given out awards to 13 feature films and 14 shorts.

Several of the winners are films that have been featured here on the Underground Film Journal, either with a review or having been embedded on the site for your viewing pleasure. First, repeat AUFF winner Chris Hansen won the Best Director award for his second feature film Endings, a film that finds three disparate strangers spending their last day on Earth together.

Loretta Hintz’s outrageous lesbian farm fantasy The Sheep and the Ranch Hand took home the 2010 AUFF The Wall award. Also, the recently embedded Shave by Sean Christensen, a haunting memoir, won the Best Experimental Short award. And, lastly, I was very happy to see that animator Victoria Cook, whom I’ve written about in the past, took home the Best Short Short award for her Devil Town.

Other big winners were Stefan Popescu — filmmaker and co-founder of the Sydney Underground Film Festival — took home the Best Foreign Drama Feature. Mladen Djorkjevic’s The Life and Death of a Porno Gang, which has been a huge hit the underground fest circuit this year, won for Best Erotic Feature. And Kenneth Price won Best Feature for his Americatown, which also screened earlier this year at the Chicago Underground Film Festival.
