What a fantastic 18th edition of BUTFF it was! Great audience, guests, performances, artists, musicians and all those BUT beers went down well with everyone!!!
We from the BUTFF organization would like to thank all the BUT volunteers. Because without you we are nowhere!
Every year, we hand out several Awards to celebrate the BUTtest feature film, the BUTtest short film, and the most BUTtiful performances. We also give out a special award to a personality whose accomplishments stand out in our genres. The awards are designed by Marc Heijmans.
PINK FLAMINGOS
As part of the Pink Flamingos subtheme, we highlight a number of LGBT+ films. Really, we’re just bringing extra attention to films that have always been part of our selection. By doing so, we want to emphasise inclusiveness and welcome an even wider and more diverse audience. After all, BUTFF accepts everyone, as long as you’re a weirdo. This year we have German cinematographer Jürgen Brüning as a guest, who delivered “Klappe” (2022), an audacious masterpiece that took 16 years to craft:
BUTFF doesn’t shun commerce and trade, as long as it is BUT-related. In addition to the trusted Zeno shop from cultfilm shop Zeno Pictures, which will be available throughout the festival, there will be room again on Saturday, for the BUT film and music market. Posters, clothing, Blu-rays, DVDs, CDs, vinyl, books, magazines, merchandise, and more B-movie and underground-related objects, both new and used, will lure you to the stalls. Delve deeper into the weirdness and spiciness that the underground world of film and music making can offer.
WHATS MORE ON THE MENU?
By tradition, of course, there is much more to enjoy at BUTFF than just thematic films. The many submitted thematic short films are also part of the festival in so-called SHORTBLOKS and outside the movie theaters on the BUT square, the much-needed PERFORMANCES are staged full of poetry, acts and music.
SHORTS WITH A DASH OF SALT & PEPPER
We have a special event that includes film- real food and music!
BUTFF EXPO bij Pier 15
The BUT Film Festival, which has grown steadily over the past 18 years, has finally reached its adult age. As the only film festival in the Netherlands dedicated to B-movies, Underground & Trash, BUTFF marks an important milestone with its 18th anniversary. From August 30 to September 3, the festival will take place under the theme "Now we're cooking!", treating audiences to five days of violence, absurdity, creativity and madness.
BUTFF EXPO at Pier 15
A recurring segment of the BUT Film Festival is the Bloody Belgium day on saterday, in which we strengthen the close ties with our neighbours in the south. Each year, we focus on one renowned Belgian filmmaker, as well as screening new, relevant Belgian genre productions.
