There’s a new kid on the block in 2009 — or, at least, this is the first time I’m hearing of it — when the Oakland Underground Film Festival screens in the Bay Area on Sept. 25-27.

Don’t have much to go on here other than the full festival lineup, which is below. However, this is probably the first underground film festival listed on the Underground Film Journal that screens on a military bases. OAKUFF will take place at the Art Deco Movie Theater located on the Alameda Point Naval Base. (No site for the theater online, but it’s located at 2700 Saratoga St.)

The OAKUFF lineup is a pretty interesting one, consisting mostly of documentaries, including ones by Sam Green and Adrianne Jorge. There are just two modern fiction films, as well as the late Ray Dennis Steckler‘s infamous monster horror musical The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies. Plus, on the opening night, there is a special projectionists’ “jam” with moving projections and live music.
