KCUFF 2025 – Thank You for an Incredible Festival

The 2025 Kansas City Underground Film Festival wrapped up on September 20 at the Charlotte Street Foundation. Huge thanks to everyone who came out, shared their work, and helped make this year our best yet.

We’re grateful for the filmmakers, volunteers, and audiences who keep KC’s underground film scene alive and thriving.

See you next year—and until then, keep watching weird.

No Admission.

The Kansas City Underground film festival prides itself on being an open and financially accessible event.

Donations are appreciated but never required.

No Industry.

The Kansas City Underground Film Festival exists only to bring unique, underappreciated films to the people who want to see them.

If you're looking for a place to sell your film or become a star, we may not be the festival for you.

If you’re looking for a welcoming and passionate place to screen your film, you’re in the right place. We love movies and love sharing them with our community.

No Limits.

Action, sci-fi, horror, drama, comedy, romance, thriller, low-budget, no-budget. It makes no difference to us.

The Kansas City Underground Film Festival welcomes all genres, budgets, and experiences. Does your film not fit in at other festivals? WE WANT TO SEE IT!
