Butff email format

Fans of bizarre, experimental or otherwise divergent movies are served every year at the international festival for B-movies, Underground and Trash films, known as the BUT Film Festival (BUTFF for short), in Breda (the Netherlands). Five days of out-of-the-ordinary films, shorts, docs, art, performances, poetry, music, food, beer and other extravaganza. Not only people from Breda but from all over the Netherlands, and growing groups from European countries including Belgium, Germany, England, France and Spain know how to find their way each year to the BUTFF. Special film guests by invitation as well as makers travelling to Breda on their own initiative are welcomed at the festival, gaining more exposure in the film milieu on an international level. The BUTFF has hosted many internationally renowned guests over the years including; John Waters, Lloyd Kaufman, Enzo G. Castellari, Barak Epstein, Nick Zedd, Remy Couture, Bruce LaBruce, Debbie Rochon, Richard Stanley, Marian Dora, Fred Vogel, Jörg Buttgereit, J.T. Petty, Wenzel Storch, Scott Schirmer, Christian Veil, Adam Wingard, Javi Camino, Harry Kümel, Norbert Pfaffenbichler, Robert ‘Bronzi’ Kovacs, Laurence R. Harvey, and many others… In the Netherlands, BUTFF is known as the enfant terrible of the Dutch festival landscape. Films with rough and rugged edges, made by filmmakers with sheer artistic enthusiasm and unbridled imagination, screened mostly in self-constructed rooms for the occasion, while the central festival square also hosts performances that can hardly bear the light of day. In this way, we shine a light on what underground culture has to offer.
