In 2010, the annual BUT Film Festival will take place between September 8 and 12 in Breda. 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 images. '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 and art 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 previous editions of the festival, David Cronenberg and Cyrus Frisch, among others, were invited, and the work of German filmmaker Wenzel Storch was once the focus.
INTERNATIONAL CHARACTER
Every year, directors, producers, and actors from all over the world are invited.
In the past, Fred Vogel, JT Petty, Andrew van den Houten, Lloyd Kaufman, Wenzel Storch, Christian Veil, Adam Wingard, and Javi Camino, among others, attended the festival.
During previous festivals we showed: "Reise ins Glück", "Stagknight", "S&Man", "Evil Aliens", "Go-Go Motel", "August Underground", "The Girl Next Door", "Popskull",
"Otto", "ìMaldito Bastardo", "Recon 2021", "Recon 2022".
This year, a number of awards will again be presented during the festival for, among others, best feature film and best short film.
