The BUT 2009 program has been announced!

It is a very diverse program featuring the genres B-film, Underground, and Trash. Many brand-new films, such as the world premiere of the underground horror film The Tourist, but also classics like Hairspray (1988) by John Waters (USA), the festival's main guest this year. In addition to films, there are special performances, artists, and other BUT-worthy activities every day.

To complete the atmosphere, there are many international guests such as,
Andrey Iskanov (Russia), underground director of The Tourist, among others; Reinert Kiil (Norway), director of Hora and the lead actress Isabel Vibe; Julia Ostertag (Germany), director of Saila; Fred Vogel & Scott Swan (USA), directors of Maskhead; Joshua von Brown (USA), director of Altamont Now; and many others.

The kick-off of BUT is on Wednesday evening, 09-09-09, with the B-film Modern Love Is Automatic. American director Zach Clark is coming to the BUT Film Festival especially to present his film at the festival himself. He will be accompanied by lead actress Melodie Sisk. She plays Lorraine in the film, a nurse by day and a dominatrix by night.

On Friday afternoon, short films by Audio-Visual students from the St. Joost Academy of Art are screened at the Electron. This is followed by a lecture by film lecturer Jan Salden about BUT's main guest, American director John Waters.

New this year is that a BUT film will be screened for free outdoors on Thursday and Friday evenings in Valkenberg Park, near Breda station and the city centre.

The Friday night of the festival promises to be a bloody evening with the eccentric performances of Aestectic Meat Front. This American-German musical act will perform rituals on the BUT stage in Electron that require a strong stomach.

A very special Saturday evening is in store, featuring, among other things, an on-stage interview with John Waters. Phil van Tongeren will grill Waters about his work and future plans, among other topics. We know Van Tongeren as the film festival director of IMAGINE, a film journalist, and the founder of the magazine Schokkend Nieuws. This will be followed by an autograph session with John Waters.
Also, on this evening, the BUT Award for the best BUT feature film and the best BUT short film will be presented for the first time.

For early birds, the final day of the festival kicks off with a real BUT breakfast film. Just like the rest of the festival days, monstrous art can be admired in the Electron on Sunday, including photographs by Ash Sivils (USA) and hanging sculptures and films by Breda-based underground artist Jaap de Vries. For children aged 8 to 80, Rick Vuur tells thrilling stories in the Griezeltrailer on Sunday afternoon.

The BUT Film Festival takes place from September 9 to 13 at Electron, Belcrumweg 19 in Breda.
