WINNER OF THE BUT FILM FESTIVAL FEATURE AWARD

The Thing in the Fog (La Cosa en La Niebla) by Chedey Reyes | 2025 | Spain

From the jury:

“A horror comedy that tells the story of an alien invasion and a trip into another dimension from a single location: the cockpit of an airplane. It’s a unique setting which manages to suggest a world beyond the limits of its frame, and it’s a fun ride, made with care, which makes us excited to see what Chedey Reyes might come up with next.”

Honorable mention by the jury:
Welcome Filmmakers! or: Follow-up Feature by Noel David Taylor | 2025 | USA

WINNER OF THE BUT FILM FESTIVAL SHORT AWARD

Pimple (Borbulha) by Fernando Alle | 2025 | Portugal

From the jury:

“A film which perfectly embodies the weird and unpredictable spirit of the BUTfest. Fernando Alle’s PIMPLE turns an everyday moment of bullying into a surprising gross-out fantasy. It’s a funny and original take on the issue, with perfect timing and a contagious joy of playing with the boundaries of genre cinema.”
