The 7th annual Portland Underground Film Festival is all set to terrorize and revile the entire Pacific Northwest with their lineup of seriously deranged feature films and shorts that will run for four nights on June 9-12.

The insanity begins Opening Night when Portland’s own most demented filmmaker, Bob Moricz, premieres his latest feature-length cinematic crime against nature, Felony Flats. Moricz stars in the film himself as a mentally ill man trying to find love and acceptance in Portland’s seediest neighborhood. The Underground Film Journal has been hard pimpin’ Moricz’s work for years and we’re thrilled he’s been chosen to open this year’s PUFF.

Other feature films include the Australian punk rock documentary 6 Foot Hick; the female revenge flick Cherry Bomb; the Portland-based drama The Gray Area; the heavy metal musical Mr. Bricks; and the film PUFF says is the most gruesome movie they’ve ever shown in 7 years: Adam Rehmeier’s The Bunny Game.

On the 11th, there will be a block of short films, but that lineup is currently TBA. Unconfirmed, though, are Kevin Lonano‘s Carny and Greg Hanson & Casey Regan‘s Thy Kill Be Done. We’ll try to have those confirmations and the full shorts lineup when it becomes available. Plus, on the 10th, there will be the annual “Bike Porn” screenings.

The fest will screen at the legendary Clinton St. Theater. Please see the Portland Underground Film Festival website for more info. The lineup of films is below:
