For the past 23 years, the Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival has devoted all its efforts and energy to bring little-known artists, marginal practices and innovative knowledge to a wider audience. Stubbornly rejecting labels and categories, the festival takes great pleasure in playing with the expectations of curious visitors thirsting for new artistic proposals. While music and cinema are at the origin of this unique event in Switzerland, the programming team has been working for several years to blend and blur the boundaries of these artistic disciplines, so as to be able to welcome works of a new genre. For, if it had to be characterized in a few words, the LUFF's uniqueness would probably lie in the attention the festival has shown, year after year, to experimentation in the artistic sector, offering a listening ear, tools and support to enable artists to present their work in the best possible conditions.

Throughout the year, 75 people in charge of the various sectors and 25 volunteers on the three programming committees work together to create utopias in an unlikely organizational laboratory. It is perhaps thanks to its unique mix of artistic expressions and committed proposals, and its year-round internal operation, that the LUFF succeeds in fulfilling its mission: to unearth and make accessible to a wide audience, to shout out loud and clear that other visual and sound practices exist outside the commercial and authoritarian networks of production, distribution and dissemination.
