The Winnipeg Underground Film Festival is heading into our 6th year and we need your help!

WUFF is an annual not-for-profit showcase for contemporary experimental film and video work from Winnipeg and around the world. Beyond our goal of bringing some of the best cinema to Winnipeg, the WUFF team is committed to making sure that all artists featured at our show are paid for their work, and to maintaining a platform that is accessible for everyone to enter. For the last several years, WUFF has received funding from the Manitoba Arts Council to help us make this happen. Unfortunately, WUFF did not receive this funding going into 2018, so we're looking to our community for some support!

Catalog will host its first guest curator this week.

Argentinian filmmaker and archivist Leandro Varela will select seven films from 24th to 30th April. For his selection, Varela will focus on experimental animation.

Werner Nekes, one of Germany's top experimental artists died last January 22, aged 72 in his home.

Nekes was particularly active as an experimental filmmaker during the late 60s and 70s. His films screened world-wide and were honored wiith a multitude of prizes and awards. At the same time he became more and more entangled in a growing passion of collecting pre-cinema optical devices ultimately ending up as a preeminent collector who frequently used these devices in his later essay-style films.
