About the festival:
The international BUT Film Festival takes place this year from September 9-13 at the Electron in Breda.

BUT Film Festival distinguishes itself from other film festivals by screening films that deviate from mainstream cinema in their form, taste, and content. 'B-films' are low-budget films 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 2008, the honor went to David Cronenberg and Cyrus Frisch. At a previous festival, the work of German filmmaker Wenzel Storch, among others, took center stage.

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.
