Boston Underground Film Festival
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Boston_Underground_Film_Festival an entity of type: Thing
The Boston Underground Film Festival (BUFF) is an annual event held in the Boston area that specializes in alternative film and video. BUFF is the largest underground film festival in New England, spotlighting short films and feature-length films that would not otherwise find an audience. It was the only film festival in the world to give an award for "Most Effectively Offensive" films, an accolade it awarded from its inception until 2017; on the festival's twentieth anniversary, the award was retired and replaced with "Best First Feature Film," marking a shifting focus towards celebrating new voices in filmmaking.

Le Boston Underground Film Festival (BUFF) est un festival de cinéma et de vidéo alternatif créé en 1998 et qui se déroule annuellement dans la région de Boston. Il met en lumière des courts métrages et des longs métrages peu diffusés par ailleurs. Depuis sa création jusqu’en 2017, il était le seul festival au monde à décerner le prix du film « le plus choquant » (« Most Effectively Offensive »). À l'occasion du vingtième anniversaire du festival, ce prix a été retiré et remplacé par celui de « Meilleur premier long métrage ».

Despite the festival's title, BUFF has not taken place in Boston proper since 2003. The 2004 festival was held mainly in Arlington, Massachusetts. In 2005, BUFF was held entirely in Somerville, Massachusetts. From 2006 on, BUFF has taken place entirely in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Although BUFF, as an organization, has hosted year round programming at various Boston venues (such as Space 242 in the South End, The Savant Project (now defunct) in Mission Hill and the Milky Way Lounge in Jamaica Plain), there seem to be no current plans to hold the festival in the City of Boston. Starting in 2016, the festival expanded operations to include a monthly screening series called Dispatches from the Underground at the Somerville Theatre Microcinema. The series screens "the ones that got away," highlighting films that weren't selected for the official festival, as well as occasional repertory titles and guest curated programs from other New England festivals, as well as traveling festivals. BUFF is one of the longest continuously-running underground film festivals in the world, second only to Chicago Underground Film Festival.

Contrairement à ce que son nom pourrait laisser supposer, le Boston Underground Film Festival n'a plus eu lieu à Boston depuis 2003. L’édition 2004 s’est principalement déroulée à Arlington, Massachusetts, celle de 2005 à Somerville, Massachusetts et depuis 2006, le BUFF a entièrement lieu à Cambridge, Massachusetts.
