August Underground 10th year anniversary special
Underground Cinema
As you probably know, Nick Zedd introduced the meme "transgression" as an artistic force into our culture in 1979. He then wrote the Cinema of Transgression Manifesto in 1984, announcing a new movement and publicizing the activities of fellow exemplary artists in the pages of his self-published zine called The Underground Film Bulletin. I could go on and write more but you already know it all and them some!

August Underground is a film that no longer needs an introduction. For those who don’t know the film, here is a quick synopsis: two serial killers go out on the town and film their gruesome deeds.
Ten years ago this “fake snuff” film that left nothing to the imagination shocked the world and put Fred Vogel on the map, and ten years later, Toetag Pictures is a household name in the underground and trash world. For this year’s BUTFF, Fred Vogel will hold a special viewing of August Underground with live commentary. Even if you’ve seen this film a hundred times, this is a chance you do not want to miss – it is the chance to learn everything about the film and its making, and to answer any questions you may have.
