The fourth annual Montreal Underground Film Festival is already underway. The opening night has passed, but there are still two more nights jam-packed with short films and a couple features to go. Below is the full lineup with the opening night included for posterity’s sake.

There are just two special Underground Film Journal shout-outs I want to give. The first goes to Leslie Supnet‘s charming The Animated Heavy Metal Parking Lot, which is short clips from the underground film classic that Supnet has animated. The short has already played a couple fests this year and I predict it will be tearing up the circuit over the months to come. And speaking of tearing it up, Leah Meyerhoff‘s Team Queen is still roaring across the festival circuit and is screening during MUFF.

The lineup is below and it is mostly short films. Although if you see a random film sitting by itself that means it’s a feature. Normally I put up descriptions for features, but to get this up quickly I’m forgoing that tradition. Plus, some of the descriptions on the MUFF site are in French, which I don’t read or speak. But please visit the MUFF site for more info on all the screenings and films.
