About the festival

UPDATE FOR 2020:
After much thought we have decided not to hold the Pile of Bones Underground Film Festival this year. (Boo!) But we'll be back next year. (Yay!)

See you in 2021! (The future, wow!)

>>

The Pile of Bones Underground Film Festival celebrates the best of independent underground short film from Canada and beyond!

We proudly celebrate bizarre and inventive creations, and love introducing new audiences to undiscovered underground films. (Check out our state-of-the-art website for lists of past films.)

Films that have premiered at our fest have been invited to screen at our sister festival Videodrunk, as well as at other film festivals across the world, picking up awards and accolades along the way.

We are looking for obscure, exceptional films that are underappreciated and uniquely different. We accept independent films of any genre which are less than 30 minutes in length.

Le Festival de films Underground Pile of Bones est de retour en septembre !

Cet événement d’une nuit célèbre le meilleur du cinéma canadien underground indépendant. Vous en avez assez de voir de bons films ignorés, le festival a été lancé comme un moyen de présenter des productions bizarres/uniques/expérimentales qui ne reçoivent pas la visibilité qu’elles méritent. Nous sommes à la recherche de films obscurs, exceptionnels, hors-normes, et uniques.

Nous acceptons les films indépendants de tout genre qui durent moins de 30 minutes.

Pile of Bones is a non-competitive festival. We do, however, pay screening fees based on IMAA fee schedules and also offer the insanely coveted “Top of the Pile" audience choice award!
