ON THE LINE director Tina Takemoto highlighted among photo call at CUFF.
For three decades, the Chicago Underground Film Festival, has been just that – underground.
Critically-acclaimed but eschewing the pomp and circumstance trappings of film festivals like red carpets and overt press attention.
However, this year CUFF decided to see if they could balance being “underground” and not be quite as “under-the-radar” when it came to the attention and recognition given to its attending filmmakers. So, while there wasn’t a traditional step-and-repeat or a press line, CUFF still found a way to keep it’s identity and yet shine a light on its talented filmmakers – many of whom traveled from all over the world to Chicago for the fest.
