Every fall for the past twenty-odd years, the Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival has occupied the Casino de Montbenon (which is actually NOT a casino - but this almost-120 years old building is simply named that way) and various other places in Lausanne. During five days, the festival commits to offering an avant-garde and outside of the mainstream artistic programme, combining films screenings, sound performances, workshops, exhibitions, and book launches.

For its Film programme, the LUFF seeks shorts and feature films, ugly or beautiful, but also uncanny, funny, gory or unusual for the selection of its various international film competitions.

The 24th edition of LUFF will be held from October 15 to 19, 2025.

The Festival’s team is looking forward to watching your films!
