The UNH Film Underground is a student-run organization which sponsors showings of rare, classic, foreign, and independent films on the big screen. Showings are followed by an open forum of discussion and analysis. Admission is always free.
The group was formed in 2004 by Cinema Studies students seeking an outlet for independent film at UNH. Not finding one, they created the Film Underground. The group has been an official student organization since Spring 2006.
In Fall 2006, the Parents Association generously awarded the Film Underground a $2,500 grant to purchase DVDs for use in film screenings. The Film Underground formed a partnership with the Collection Development department of the UNH Library, which has matched this grant.
Film Underground DVDs have been added to the multimedia collection of the UNH Library and are available to patrons.
The Film Underground Collection is not intended to be a definitive compilation of the best or most important films ever made; their goal in creating this collection was educational, not archival.
When compiling their selection lists, FU members were encouraged to look beyond any Top 100 Greatest Films lists and ask themselves the questions, “What did I grow up watching, what have I recently discovered, and what do I want to watch now?” While the collection certainly does include acknowledged classics, it also includes a variety of foreign, forgotten, and contemporary independent films that are equally as impressive and enjoyable as their more famous counterparts.
By choosing films based on the unique interests of their members, FU has created a collection that reflects the incredible diversity that the world of cinema has to offer.
