Preview: 2023 Boston Underground Film Festival

From Wed. March 22 to Sun. March 26, the Boston Underground Film Festival takes over Harvard Square at The Brattle Theatre (Cambridge, MA). The fest is in its 23rd edition and it is a celebration of bizarre, weird and alt cinema!

Here at Green’s Party, I’ve been lucky enough to cover the festival since 2016 (the fest took off in 2020 and 2021, and I was unable to attend 2022). Here are some of the highlights of this year’s BUFF:

Wed. March 22:

Opening Night film is Jeffrey A. Brown’s The Unheard, which is going to be on Shudder later this month. The film finds a young deaf woman undergoing experimental treatment to regain her hearing. Recovering at her family’s beach home, she fears she is not alone - all while uncovering family secrets and experiencing psychological strife and auditory hallucinations. It was filmed in Massachusetts and it was written by Michael and Shawn Rasmussen (full disclosure: the writing duo are friends of mine). Then it’s Nightsiren from Slovakia. The trailer is pure WTFery!

Thurs. March 23:

BUFF doesn’t screen nearly as many documentaries as narrative films, but the ones they do are quite noteworthy. The doc Stand By For Failure: A Documentary about Negativeland looks at the experimental Bay area music group Negativeland. Then it’s back to narrative films with the sci-fi Spaghetti Junction, about a teen discovering a mysterious place in the woods. From France, the Canne Film Festival hit Smoking Causes Coughing is a wild bonkers super hero film about the dangers of smoking.

Fri. March 24:

First up is The Dunwich Horrors, a collection of short films about New England. Massachusetts certainly has its history with horror stories, but there’s other states like VT and ME represented here as well. This is usually one of my favorite short collections at the fest and among the shorts is Skin & Bone (full disclosure: director Eli Powers is a friend I worked with on a film previously). Then it’s another doc Mister Organ, the new one from David Farrier, director of Tickled. This one looks at the secrets behind a a man at a small antique shop in New Zealand. From U.K. Enys Men is a throwback to 70s horror on an uninhabited island off the Cornish coast.

Sat. March 25:

A matinee screening of Moon Garden, about a little girl who falls into a coma and finds herself in a strange new world. One of my favorite shorts programs at BUFF is Sound + Vision, a collection of music videos that push the envelope. Then it’s Butter My Noodle, a collection of comedy short films. Among them is High Moon, directed by my buddy Kevin J. James (director of Not For Resale). From Germany, Piaffe is about a woman who fills in for her sister as a foley artist and grows a horse’s tail. Not a typo! Then it’s the Sundance hit Divinity, which boasts star power of Stephen Dorf and Scott Bakula as well as producer Steven Soderbergh.

Sun. March 26:

First up is Survival is Insufficient, a collection of shorts including CONTENT: The Lo-Fi Man co-directed by BUFF alumni / my friend Brian Lonano (read my interview with him at BUFF 2018 here) and It Takes a Village co-written and co-starring SNL’s Sarah Sherman. Then it’s Destination, a collection of animated shorts that are not suitable for children. Then it’s the festival hit How to Blow Up a Pipeline, a crime thriller about a group of environmental activists who plan a disruption of an oil pipeline. The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster is about a brilliant teenage girl who tries to bring back her recently murdered brother from the dead. And finally the Closing Night Film is Rebel from Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the Belgium filmmakers known for Bad Boys for Life and Ms. Marvel. This film focuses on a Muslim family torn apart over the future of its youngest member in Belgium.

“Go for it; don’t drop anything on either of us.”

Nightsiren gestured with a servo to the remaining cases on the sledge in invitation. Rather than move back toward the cargo, the bot leaned on the newly transferred case of cubes once more. They looked about them with thoughtful optics, taking in the details of the bay.

“There’s no guarantee anything will work at any time; that’s just function for you.” Nightsiren looked from the bay to the scarring on their own arm from the pits, painted over but not smoothed away; the tank huffed out exvent at themselves and settled their arm back on the cargo. “What I meant was put your energy toward becoming who you want to be, and your Autobots should start warming up. Might take a while and you might need help, but it’s the best suggestion I got. If that don’t work, I’d say they’re the problem.”

@bytesnbolts (cont. from this ask!)

“No!” The femme automaticaly bristled defensively from peds to wingtips. “I mean-. Maybe. I don’t know.” She grit her sharp denta in frustration. Really though, what had she been expecting, asking a loaded question like that? And of a stranger, to boot.

“I just-.” Dragonsbane huffed air through her denta. “I see everyone around me - all these Autobots - and they’re so different from me, and they’re happy, and I want to be that, too, but,” Her wings flared briefly, subconsciously emphasizing her words. “t feels like all my efforts get me nowhere.”

She didn’t want to only be stupid and destructive, but she was. The glyphs and symbols of her own internal HUD were still mostly gibberish, no matter how may times she studied the flashcards Prime had give her. She was never more at ease then when she could hit something as hard as she could and watch it shatter, but that’s what her old teammates enjoyed, too.

And she would be damned if she did anything like them.

Hiii! Do you have any movie recommendations with similar vibes as your posts/dark naturalism?

Or just movies with autumn aesthetic

Ooooh, loved this one!

I would definetly recommend you the following:

The Witch (2015)

The Village (2004)

The Ritual (2017)

Akelarre (2020)

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) - one of my favs of all time

She Will (2021)

Nightsiren (2022)

The whole Twilight franchise - Forks is basically a Dark Naturalistic heaven

And if you're into TV shows/series, Black Spot (Zone Blanche) is one of my favorites ever and it's, by far, one of the most dark naturalistic-ish media I've ever seen!

Also, y'all feel free to recommend some more stuff for our dear anon (and me)!

For the fanfic meme: ❤️‍🩹

For the fanfic meme - thank you!! ♥

Unbelievable how long it took me to find something for this 😂 Made me realize I need to write a healing snippet for FFXIV, for some reason I barely have any hurt/comfort (in the physical sense) things written so far!

But if I go for succor as "someone coming for help" - here we go.

“Hi boys,” Adriene smiled, giving them a wave as she sauntered towards them. She just hoped Saran would get them away before the slaughter started.

“Nightsiren,” one of them growled, pointing a serated axe at her. “You killed my brother.”

“If I did, he had it coming,” she shrugged, getting into position and letting the darkness inside her rise she needed to kill. “You want to kill me?”

“Not yet,” the man snarled, hefting his axe as took a step forward. “I’ll make you pay for what you did. And then I’ll kill you.”

Here we go, Adriene thought as he started running towards her. “You’re welcome to try,” she murmured.

Before he had reached her, however, the air started to sizzle, and the next second, the ground seemed to open beneath him, rocks slamming into him and throwing him back before they melted back into the ground. A long-forgotten feeling surged through Adriene, the taste of ice and sharpness on her tongue as a barrier laid itself upon her skin. A barrier she knew from back home. Cassia.

She looked back, only to see Layanna already casting another spell while Cassia’s hands glowed with her magic.

“You didn’t think we’d let you do this alone, did you?” she called, a grim look in her eyes, and the darkness inside Adriene eased somewhat.

Saran and Nayan had drawn their weapons and were charging towards her.

“Behind you!” Layanna yelled, and Adriene spun around, avoiding the pirate’s axe in the last second and smashing her elbow into his nose.

The next moment, the fight was in full swing, but instead of the usual cruel hardness, Adriene felt lighter than in a long time. She wasn’t alone.

A. What nicknames do they get called?

C. What’s their weirdest habit or quirk?

P. What advice would they give to their younger self?

(( From the random character development meme ))

A. What nicknames do they get called?

"When the science units still had staff, they used to yank on my cables by calling me 'The Re-decorator'; I only damaged the shared lab once. I kind of miss it and yet don't at the same time." - Nitroxide

"Question: Drones' nickname? Drones: Little buddies. Who: Dealbreaker. Emotional state: Pleased. Appreciated. Dealbreaker: Friend of Drones." - Sparkhaven Drones.

"Oil aft. No bot calls me that for long." - Fireball

C. What’s their weirdest habit or quirk?

"Starprowler's need power recharge in the ships' rafters. Sometimes her tail is dangling down and the ax-blade is twitching around at whatever recharge dreams she's having . It's a safety hazard! " - Solar Pax

"Archivist Solar Pax's ability to quote entire chapters from romance datapads. It's like he has an internal indexing system for exactly one thing. I ask him to remember something and he goes 'yeah yeah' and then forgets!" - (Officer) Starprowler

"Crux talks to his paints when he's mix'en up." "You talk to your etching tools all the time!" "That's different, bro." "It's not!" - Crux and Flux (who both talk to their equipment when they're brainstorming)

"Look, mom, no hands! Let's have a big round of applause!" - Dealbreaker (detaching both of his servos before bending down to prod them back on and clapping)

P. What advice would they give to their younger self?

"Pursue our theories. Bring more 'supplies' on our expedition. Do not hesitate for it is you or it." - Requiem

"Nitroxide informed me I cannot provide the advice I wish to impart to my younger self as it would alter the timeline too significantly." - Nanostorm (unhappily)

"Nan's grown apart from me, so spend as much time with our sibling as you can." - Powerhouse

"When they ask you to join, do it." - Nightsiren

"When they ask you to join, tell 'em they ought not to be joining 'emselves." - Shamble
