In its 6th annual event, New England Underground Film Festival will relocate this year to Best Video & Cultural Center, 1842 Whitney Ave. in Hamden. The event will be held Saturday, Oct. 8, from 4 to 10 p.m. and admission is $10, $5 for students.

The feature-length films this year are the 1914 silent “The Patchwork Girl of Oz,” which was produced and its screenplay written by “Oz” creator L. Frank Baum himself; and “She Kills,” an action horror about a woman with supernatural powers, which is an homage to 1970s “grindhouse” exploitation movies.

The festival also will show short films including films by Kim Mikenis of Hamden and Manuel Saldana of New Britain, and a documentary “Incarnation Shaped My Life,” about a summer camp in Ivoryton.

Here’s the lineup:
