2013 Brisbane Underground Film Festival: Official Lineup

The 4th annual Brisbane Underground Film Festival will take place on three nights — and one afternoon screening — on Nov. 21-23 at the Brisbane Powerhouse arts center.
The fest opens on the 21st with two documentaries about two iconic performers. First up is Jeffrey Schwarz‘s hit I Am Divine, about the legendary actress and drag queen; followed by the performance film Peaches Does Herself.
Screenings at the rest of the fest include Drew Tobia‘s outrageous debut feature See You Next Tuesday, which has been tearing up the underground circuit; Zach Clark’s holiday dark comedy White Reindeer; transgressive filmmaker Jon Moritsugu’s return to the cinema, Pig Death Machine; the graffiti art documentary Vigilante Vigilante by Max Good and more. Each feature film is preceded by a short film, as well.
