The director of the Minneapolis Underground Film Festival is expecting attendance to double this year.
But bigger crowds and increased publicity won’t bring the festival into the mainstream.
“It’s more about the content of the films,” festival director and lead programmer Mark Hanson said.
“The films deal with topics you wouldn’t find in mainstream movies,” he said. “And there are a lot of subcultures featured, too.”
The festival is open to everyone from hardcore cinephiles to festival newbies, he said.
