It's no secret that all of us at the Calgary Underground Film Festival are huge fans of the cult classic RAD. In 2011, CUFF organized the 25th Anniversary Celebrations of the film in Calgary and Cochrane where the film was shot, in 2020 CUFF hosted a drive-in and bike-in screening to celebrate the film's 4K release, and this year we're presenting the 40th Anniversary Screening at Globe Cinema on Sunday, March 22.

ABOUT THE FILM
The story of one young man, Cru Jones, who has the intensity and desire to win a BMX race called Helltrack.
