MILWAUKEE UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL

APRIL 17-19, 2025


The Milwaukee Underground Film Festival (MUFF) is a student run film festival devoted to showcasing independent, artist driven cinema. For nearly two decades we have been programming filmmakers that defy convention in an attempt to amplify unheard voices. Our festival celebrates the potential of cinema to imbue a community with excitement, critical discussion, and open-mindedness through the presentation of new artistic forms.
