Sydney's leading Festival for cult and underground films, the Sydney Underground Film Festival (SUFF) returns with a huge program for its 10th festival of daring cinema, taking place at the Factory Theatre Marrickville from 15th - 18th September.

Over four big days, the Festival will screen more than 100 films sourced from the very best in subversive, experimental, and controversial films internationally, including a lineup of Australian premieres alongside retrospectives and special masterclasses.

Opening the 2016 Festival is WIENER-DOG, the latest film from auteur and agitator extraordinaire Todd Solondz. A cutthroat comedy brimming with brilliantly caustic and truthful observations about the human condition, WIENER-DOG hits SUFF for its Australian premiere.

Other highlights of the feature film program include the Australian premieres of AAAAAAAAH!, which imagines a Britain populated by depraved beasts that look like humans but think, act and communicate like monkeys, TRASH FIRE, a comedy-horror from director Richard Bates Jr. (Suburban Gothic) and starring Adrian Grenier (Entourage), and ANTIBIRTH, starring Natasha Lyonne (Orange Is The New Black) as a hard-partying girl who wakes up with a bizarre illness and reality altering visions.

Special events this year will include the brand-new SATURDAY MORNING ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT-CEREAL CARTOON PARTY (which is exactly what it sounds like), a 25th anniversary screening of NAKED LUNCH from director David Cronenberg (The Fly), and a 40th anniversary remastered screening of CARRIE (to compliment the incredible DE PALMA documentary, also screening at the festival this year.)

Closing the festival in true SUFF style, will be an Australian premiere screening of the 1970s classic MULTIPLE MANIACS from the High Priest of Trash Cinema himself, John Waters. Step right up to witness the tale of Lady Divine's travelling sideshow, an exhibit of extreme perversions that includes the puke eater, the armpit slurper, the heroin addict going cold turkey and so much more!
