AUDIENCE CORNER
4th-9th September 2019
8PM-11PM
This September 2019, PUFF will present a program of films that addresses many of the topics related to our current events thus hopefully will help us make more sense of them - the idea of oppression and resistance; the role of media censorship, fake news, the use of media for political and personal gain. Look forward to exchanging ideas with you.
PUFF 2020 edition will be held in February and June 2020. Stay tuned and see you all soon !

Filmmaking as a Lifelong Passion
We are searching for filmmakers and writers who are passionate about the craft of film. We support those who pursue film as a career or otherwise. We are on the look out for film in its purest form; a well-told story without the need for big budgets or fancy technology, but filmmakers with courage and determination.
