For 15 years, the New York Underground Film Festival has showcased overlooked, unexpected, and experimental gems. Due to restructuring efforts, however, this year marks NYUFF's final installment. The farewell festival welcomes more than 100 short and feature-length films, with special screenings and events throughout the week. Selections include North Korean ideological experiment The Juche Idea; a look at Harry Potter's musical aftermath in We Are Wizards; and Super High Me, which replaces McDonald's with marijuana for a 30-day marathon of stonerdom. The highlight may be Heavy Metal in Baghdad, Vice's invigorating, three-years-in-the-making documentary about Iraq's only metal band, Acrassicauda.
