The world’s longest running underground film festival, CUFF, as it’s affectionately known, has screened works ranging from the transgressive to the camp, from the experimental to documentaries. Curated and introduced by Bryan Wendorf this selection of shorts culled from archives is a perfect example of why it remains essential.
