Synopsis:
The Calgary Underground Film Festival Presents: Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025)
Next up in our Off the CUFF Series is NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE! We're big fans of this film and filmmaking team, and we couldn't resist being part of the upcoming theatrical run. Whether you are a fan of the cult comedy series, which the film is based on, love the work of CUFF alum Matt Johnson (BLACKBERRY, 2023), who directed the film and co-created the series, or are learning about this all for the first time, this new Canadian release will be a ton of fun with an audience!
Join us on Feb 9 for a special Off the CUFF advance screening of NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE, ahead of the theatrical release on Feb 13.
ABOUT THE FILM
