SUBMIT YOUR FILM for BUTFF 2011!

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
In 2011, the annual But Film Festival will take place from September 7 to 11 in the center of Breda. This year's festival theme is: Beyond Reality (subtitle: special effects). The BUT Film Festival distinguishes itself from other film festivals by screening films that deviate from mainstream cinema through their form, taste, and content. BUT stands for B-films, Underground, and Trash. 'B-films' are films made on a small budget that do not fall under a major production studio. 'Underground films' are films that push the boundaries of what is acceptable. They often contain explicit imagery. 'Trash films' are over-the-top films in terms of content and visuals.
For lovers of the experimental, curious, bizarre, and absurd, a particularly varied program is put together every year. In addition to films, performances, art, education (BUT workshops), and a symposium are also a permanent part of the BUT Film Festival.

RETROSPECTIVES
During the festival, a retrospective of a specific director is also screened.
In 2009, John Waters was invited as the main guest. At earlier editions of the festival, David Cronenberg and Cyrus Frisch, among others, were invited, and the work of German filmmaker Wenzel Storch took center stage.
In 2010, underground film legend Jïrg Buttgereit was present at the BUT, and a series of his old and new work was shown.

INTERNATIONAL CHARACTER
Every year, directors, producers, and actors from all over the world are invited. In the past, attendees at the festival included Fred Vogel, JT Petty, Andrew van den Houten, Lloyd Kaufman, Wenzel Storch, Christian Veil, Adam Wingard, Javi Camino, and Barack Epstein.
