The Visy Theatre in Brisbane will host the inaugural Brisbane Underground Film Festival.

(TRAVPR.COM) UK - September 9th, 2010 - Brisbane Underground Film Festival (BUFF) promises to shock, thrill and amuse in equal measure when it opens at the end of this month.

The event takes place at the Visy Theatre between September 29th and October 1st 2010, and is set to feature some of the movies that "usually play at midnight, go straight to DVD or never make it to Brisbane at all", the organisers have explained.

This means that people staying in Brisbane hotels (http://www.laterooms.com/au/k11465223_brisbane-hotels.aspx) who head to BUFF are in for a host of cinematic treats spanning an array of genres, including everything from horror and arthouse to films that are just plain weird.

A screening of Strange Powers: Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields will kick off the festival at 19:00 local time on September 29th, exploring the songwriting process of the musician and featuring interviews with the likes of Sarah Silverman, Neil Gaiman and Peter Gabriel.

However, 5 star hotels Brisbane (http://www.laterooms.com/au/k11465223_brisbane-hotels.aspx?q=1_luxury-hotels) customers keen to watch something with more of an edge should maybe opt for the following day's Yodok Stories, which focuses on the hundreds of thousands of people incarcerated in North Korea's concentration camps.

Passes for each film cost A$15 or A$12 for concessions and should be snapped up quickly, as the theatre has a capacity of just 200 seats.
