The Music:
Tres Gueros are three brooklynites led by the amorphous producer, Sleazy McQueen. Pulling together a joint of different but like-minded artists, Sleazy wanted to create a different soud than the usual house tracks. Instead You Go was the result. The vinyl release includes remixes from top nu disco names Anthony Mansfield and Neighbour, as well as newcomer Dave Allison. The digital package will include a bonus track from Sleazy McQueen, Leon Louder and a Dave Allison instrumental. The release will be out beginning of April on Wax and available at digital stores shortly thereafter.

The Contest:
With the success of combination of talent that went into the track, it only makes sense to open up the visual representation of the music to newcomers and fresh insights.

The Chicago Underground Film Festival exists to showcase the defiantly independent filmmaker. They aim to “promote films and videos that dissent radically in form, technique, or content from the ‘indie’ mainstream and to present adventurous works that challenge and transcend commercial and audience expectations”.

Held this year from June 24th until July 1 at the Gene Siskel Film Center, CUFF has a reputation of highlighting the quirky, abstract, even oblique and tangent works that other film festivals often overlook. This year’s move to summer dates means it will also avoid calendar clashes with other events, and their presence as the world’s longest running underground film fest means that this could be worth adding to your calendar.

If you think that your film fits the above description, then the final deadline is March 15 and any last minute entries cost $40. Check out the full guide and download an entry form from http://cuff.org/2010/guide.html

Although not a competitive festival, CUFF does present awards, in categories including Narrative Feature, Narrative Short, Documentary Feature, Documentary Short, Experimental, Animation and Music Video. There are also ‘Made in Chicago’ and ‘Audience Choice’ awards.

Keep up to date on the festival via Twitter, Facebook and Myspace.
