Fans of bizarre, experimental or otherwise divergent movies are served every year at the international festival for B-movies, Underground and Trash films, known as the BUT Film Festival (BUTFF for short), in Breda (the Netherlands). Five days of out-of-the-ordinary films, shorts, docs, art, performances, poetry, music, food, beer and other extravaganza. Infamously known as the enfant terrible of the Dutch film festival landscape, BUTFF offers an alternative place where (both underground and established) filmmakers, distributors and the audience meet each other to celebrate the BUT-genre. Its film program contains every year roughly around 60 feature and 60 short films, mainly focussing on the weird and the wicked of low-budget, independent and genre cinema. Usually about 70% of the program consists of new films, the rest is retrospective. For each festival edition, three films are nominated for the BUTtest feature award and four or five shorts for the BUTtest short award. The winners are decided by a carefully selected external jury every year.
BUTFF has hosted many internationally renowned guests over the years including; John Waters, Lloyd Kaufman, Enzo G. Castellari, Don ‘The Dragon’ Wilson, Rodrigo Aragão, Can Evrenol, Barak Epstein, Nick Zedd, Remy Couture, Bruce LaBruce, Debbie Rochon, Richard Stanley, Marian Dora, Fred Vogel, Jörg Buttgereit, J.T. Petty, Charlie Steeds, Andrew van den Houten, Wenzel Storch, Scott Schirmer, David Ryan Keith, Christian Veil, Adam Wingard, Javi Camino, Harry Kümel, Norbert Pfaffenbichler, Robert ‘Bronzi’ Kovacs, Jim Groom, Laurence R. Harvey, and many others…
BUTFF is a non-profit festival, run by a foundation (IDFX) and volunteers.
6,66 euros is charged for submitting feature films and 1 euro for short films.
