After Vinsantos moved to New Orleans, Peaches and fellow film programmer Sam Sharkland wanted to see the fest continue and so revived it in 2011 at the Victoria Theatre where it ran until 2015. Now, after 10 years, the festival has found a new home at the 4 Star Theater under the care of Piranha Psychotronica and Kafka X, the maniacal minds behind Media Meltdown Movie Madhouse.The San Francisco Underground Short Film Festival exists to celebrate local, independent filmmaking. We proudly champion the overlooked and underrated, the avant-garde and the alternative, the outrageous, the oddball, and the outlandish. We'll be presenting the silly, subversive, surreal, and strange from all Bay Area filmmakers! From bizarro B-films to midnight movie trash, expect the weirdest and wildest the Bay has to offer, with the night kicking off with our lighter fare and getting darker and more freaky as the evening goes on.
