We’re proud to announce that our Dani, feature film programmer at the BUT Film Festival, has been selected as a member of the Feature Film Jury at the Final Girls Berlin Film Festival 2026.
As part of the Feature Film Jury, Dani will help evaluate this year’s bold and boundary-pushing feature selections, bringing her sharp curatorial eye and deep love for transgressive cinema to one of Europe’s leading platforms for horror and genre films by women, trans, and non-binary filmmakers.
For Grensgeluiden, local reporter Senne visited this year's BUTFF with his recorder. Listen to it here (in Dutch):
A couple of days after BUT Film Festival 2025 was held, new festival director Ryan Oomen made an appearance on De Budget Slagers Podcast. The conversation was held in Dutch/Flemish.
#38 BUTrospective met festivaldirecteur Ryan
"Ryan, festivaldirecteur van het BUT Film Festival in Breda kwam langs in Genk en het resultaat was een drie en een half uur durende conversatie over alles wat de 2025 editie van BUT weer een onvergetelijke ervaring heeft gemaakt."

The films of Brazilian director Rodrigo Aragão have been a staple of BUTFF’s film program since the very beginning. His unmistakable style — a potent mix of raw horror, social critique, and magical realism — perfectly aligns with what the average BUTFF-goer craves. But who exactly is this cult filmmaker?
Step into the neon haze of fractured reality, where flesh meets circuit, and consciousness is just another program waiting to crash. Virtual Insanity is not just a theme—it’s a virus, a mindworm, crawling through the fiber-optic veins of a collapsing world. The lines between real and unreal blur like static on a dying screen. Are you awake, or are you trapped in the infinite loops of someone else's digital hallucination?
The volunteers are the heart and the soul of the festival.
Join us and make this year extra special. Help scan tickets or make sandwiches, decorate the square or run the bar. Every help is welcome!
