The Winnipeg Underground Film Festival is an annual showcase for contemporary experimental film + video, taking place on Treaty 1 Territory in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Our next festival runs from June 4–7, 2026.

WUFF seeks new and engaging moving-image works that deviate from traditional cinematic forms (whatever that means). Stronger consideration may be given to work running under 30 minutes, and to works completed in 2024 or later, though exceptions may be made in both cases.

WUFF is also interested in hearing proposals for performance and/or installation based work, and as always, we're on the lookout for films running 90 seconds or less for our longstanding 90 Second program. In 2026, films featured in the 90 Second program will be eligible for one of three cash prizes, with a maximum prize of $300 CAD. If you don't have a 90 second film to share, make one!

Rules + Guidelines:
Zero entry fees
*IMAA screening fees paid
Maximum 3 entries per filmmaker
Deadline for entry is March 22, 2026
Have fun!

*excluding works shown in the 90 Second program, which will be eligible for one of three cash prizes
