The 21st edition, titled 'Simply the Pest', celebrates five days of the beauty of the unwanted with an international programme full of B-movies, underground and trash culture. Once again this year, the festival is welcoming dozens of filmmakers from all over the world to make their mark on the programme.

Alongside films at Chassé Cinema, Filmhuis Breda and Nieuwe Veste, BUTFF offers an explosion of shorts, documentaries, art, performances, poetry and music. Leave the safe mainstream behind for an extravagant mix of bloody horror and absurd camp. 

Get ready for a five-day plague of culture and cinema that you won't find anywhere else. Whether you're coming for the films, the art or the notorious atmosphere: BUTFF 2026 will crawl under your skin and won't let go.
