Unnamed Footage Festival 2026: Second Wave Announced
The folks at UFF, The Unnamed Footage Festival, have announced the second wave of titles for this year's event.
Jason Zink returns to the festival to premiere Looky-Loo: Part II, the follow up to their 2024 film. Gonzalo Otero’s Peru-set folk horror The Devil's Teardrop will have its US premiere at the fest, while Karsen Schovajsa and James Besse’s The Killing Cell promises lots of gore. Fans of D&D will want to check out screenlife horror flick, Groupchat.
Found footage is a genre not typically associated with comedy yet the festival will have two entries lingering along those lines. There is the horror comedy, Content, and the animated single-take flick, Big City Pizza. At least they are something to balance out the thrills and chills offered by the rest of the program.
Check out the gallery below for more information on each film.
