In a decaying Universe where black holes are increasing, disillusioned young people seek to escape their bleak reality by using sonic drugs or pretending to be antisocial hikikomoris posing as robots. A rumor of a mythical rave beyond the cosmic microwave background circulates among them, where cosmic rhythm and meaning are believed to be controlled. Crooner-Boy (CB), a clumsy 40-year-old singer with a powerful voice, and Lena Ivkovic, a young activist, performer, and DJ, cross paths with the shared goal of reaching the rave. They persuade Commander Plank to take them on his ship, the Discovery 2. Plank, a narcissistic space traveler, is on a mission critical to the Universe's destiny: finding a new home for a wise but endangered cosmic species. The fates of these characters collide as they struggle, love, sing, and explore the Universe in the original space opera "Quantum Rave," blending music, humor, science fiction, action, relativity, and quantum mechanics. Themes like anthropocentrism, estrangement, and the role of art are humorously examined in this comedic adventure.
In a forsaken world long after humanity’s end, two eternal angels — once sent to watch over mankind — wander alone in the ruins of a forgotten theater. When one is possessed by the spirit of a dead actress, desire and damnation collide in a surreal battle of love, ghosts, and destiny.

From the haunted forests of a lost Portuguese village, an evil energy is born. Without fearing God or Man, it roams the valleys harvesting the souls of those who are distracted by the fleeting pleasures of the immediate... The only thing that separates these entities from the final apocalypse that will enslave humanity in the seventh circle of hell is a retired construction worker, a bottle of wine, a Zündapp 50cc motorcycle and a sword possessed by a strange demon.
The Stew is almost ready, but there is one thing missing… a dark adventure of unrequited love, societal decay and insatiable hunger.
'Stew to Eat' is a silent narrative in the style of 1920’s German Expressionism with modern flourishes peppered in throughout. It takes inspiration from a wide range of classics (Dr. Caligari, Carnival of Souls, The Marx Brothers' Paramount films, etc.) but also emerges as something new - it’s not quite horror, not quite comedy. It’s story-driven, and yet also formally experimental. More than anything, it’s a celebration of DIY world-building, unlikely communities, and the overwhelming urge to be seen.
A strange encounter at a used bookstore leads four young seekers to a Video Course from the 1980s where they are introduced to Howard French and his twisted lessons on enlightenment : The Framework to Truly See.
After being cancelled, a BookToker stumbles into a mysterious book store looking for a comeback.

Al wandelend in dit niemandsland, praten we om te bewijzen dat we bestaan. Dus we bouwden een huis onder de kartonnen zon, met bedachte muren om ooit weer afgebroken te worden. Het heeft nu alleen nog een dak nodig.
Daaronder houden we elkaar vast en doen we alsof de regen nooit zal vallen en de dag nooit zal eindigen.

A slug on your ceiling
Een performance over slakken en de manieren hoe hun slijmerige lichamen gelijk staan aan die van ons. Het vergelijkt persoonlijke ervaringen van leven in een queer/trans lichaam met de manieren dat we omgaan met slakken in onze tuin. Het delen van imperfectie als een vorm van kracht, protest en als een manier van zijn.

making!

Director David Ryan Keith will be present!

Cinemaatjes bekritiseren al negen jaar lang de gekste films op YouTube waar een normale filmkijker zich never nooit aan zou wagen.

De enige manier om deze dodelijk saaie film te overleven is dus deze voorstelling bijwonen!

BUTFF x PRIKKELDRAAD presents:
For Friday, we’ve again invited ‘Prikkeldraad’ (‘barbed wire’ in Dutch), a local Breda-based dark and prickly metal organisation, to host our annual Metal Friday. So come and try to cross that barbed wire!
MOULFON
Mouflon is a Dutch death and doom metal band forging a sound deeply rooted in the old-school traditions of Entombed, Autopsy, Grave and Asphyx. Their music shifts between slow, dragging doom passages and explosive bursts of death metal, always carrying a sense of overwhelming weight and intensity.
With albums such as Devastations and Pure Filth, the band built a reputation for uncompromising, destructive metal that feels both sluggish and aggressive at the same time. Live, this translates into a massive wall of sound where subtlety disappears entirely in favour of impact and volume.
The band has shared stages with acts such as Gatecreeper, Blood Incantation and Zeal & Ardor, and performed at festivals including Eurosonic and Pitfest. Their shows are built around pressure and escalation: slow builds, crushing heaviness and full-force sonic impact.
VISCERAL CONTEMPT
Visceral Contempt emerged in late 2023 around a hardcore project inspired by Operation Oyster, the Allied bombing of the occupied Philips radio factories in Eindhoven in 1942. What began as a conceptual EP quickly evolved into a full band featuring members from Human Demise, Dark Intentions and No Turning Back.
Their sound sits firmly in metallic hardcore: tight, aggressive and heavily charged. Within a year, the band played across the Netherlands and beyond, sharing stages with acts such as Earth Crisis, Mindwar and Initiate.
On stage, Visceral Contempt delivers a relentless performance built entirely on intensity and impact. No relief, no detours—just sustained pressure from start to finish.
GRIT
GRIT emerged in 2024 from the Dutch underground black and death metal scene, founded by musicians with roots in bands such as Sator Malus and Depredation. What started as a new collaborative project quickly evolved into a fully committed death metal formation with no restraint or polish.
Drawing influence from both classic and modern death metal ranging from Cannibal Corpse to Bolt Thrower and Obituary, GRIT focuses on direct, physical intensity. Cutting riffs, heavy grooves and aggressive vocals combine into a sound built entirely around impact.
The lineup was completed with additional guitarists, reinforcing a front line that amplifies the band’s weight and urgency. What remains is a band that does exactly what death metal is meant to do: play hard, play direct, and leave no room for escape.
Director Charlie Steeds will be present!

It’s been years since anything spooky has happened in the town of Helen’s Valley, and for good reason. Josh Harper (Courtney
Gains of ‘Children of the Corn’) has dedicated his entire life to making sure those barn dwelling monsters never come back from hell for anyone in the town or his sister, Heather (Kelli Maroney of ‘Chopping Mall’). However, something far sinister is lurking in the shadows, trying to resurrect the legend once again.
Presented by Paco Fox from Madrid's infamous CutreCon film festival.
