BUT Film Festival

BUT is an annual international interdisciplinary festival with about 50 features, 50 shorts plus performances, music and art.
During 5 days in Breda (Holland) filmmakers, distributors and the audience meet each other.
We specialise in genre cinema, low-budget and independent - the weird and the wicked.
The focus is on underground moviemaking (not horror per se) and B-movies.
Each year there is a main guest, Waters, Buttgereit, Castellari, BrudeLaBruce have been there.
Each year there is a MAIN THEME, but we accept all sorts.
Opening film, closing film, 5 nominations plus retrospectives. 70% of the films is new, rest is retrospective.
BUT is a non-profit festival, run by a foundation (IDFX) and volunteers.
Since the 2020 edition, we incorporated free online viewing into our program.
We do not charge entry fees. Filmmakers already invested a lot in their work.
