The 4th annual Sydney Underground Film Festival, which runs for three days on Sept. 9-11, will screen about 10 features from all over the world and a veritable ton of short films from even further out there.

The fest will open with the latest documentary by a Hollywood icon. It’s Oliver Stone’s South of the Border, which has the director meeting with South American politicians and dignitaries. (The film opened to mixed reviews here in the States earlier this year.) Also screening is Trash Humpers, the latest film by indie rabble-rouser Harmony Korine, which has been confounding audiences on the indie film fest circuit, and Gaspar Noe’s Enter the Void, which has been earning rave reviews.

The rest of the features in the lineup are an eclectic, oddball concoction, including Mladen Djordjevic’s Serbian atrocity Life and Death of a Porno Gang, Victor Nieuwenhuijs and Maartje Seyferth’s twisted Netherlands tale Meat, Stuart Simpson‘s award-winning Australian monster party El Monstro Del Mar! and more.

Short films are broken up into programs celebrating animation, women directors and just random crazy shit. The Underground Film Journal is glad to see one of our favorite experimental filmmakers, Clint Enns, has his film Self-Improvement in the mix.

In addition to screening movies, the festival will have special performances, an awards ceremony and several after-screening parties. For more info, please visit the official Sydney Underground Film Festival. The full film lineup is listed below:
