THURSDAY:

Surf & Turf Fest and BUTFF are coming together again to stir a nice pot of dismay, anesthesia, alienation and confusion into an ecstasy!

Two groups of students from Breda University of Applied Sciences did their project for BUT Film Festival 2019. We challenged one of the groups to make a documentary about our festival in a true 'BUT-fashion'. The other we challenged to make a short film to promote the festival with the same criteria. Let's have a look at the short film first! Same time next week we will premiere the documentary.

New to this year's BUT Film Festival is a live BodyPaintJam. Several painting teams will create a full-body painting between 12:30h and 19:00h. The theme of the paintings is Extraterrestrial.

BUTFF visitors are able to see the teams at work, changing the models into living pieces of Art.

The BodyPaintJam is organised by the 3 silent artists, to see more of their work, visit https://www.bodydesign.online!

Want to participate as a team and show your BodyPaint creation?! Great!!

For our second introduction we are proud te present American independent horror filmmaker and editor from Indiana, SCOTT SCHIRMER!

BUT Film Festival has been following Scott for some years and screened his directed features HARVEST LAKE (2016), PLANK FACE (2016) and FOUND (2012) plus some of his production work like HEADLESS (2015) and SPACE BABES FROM OUTER SPACE (2017). As a European premiere we are proud to screen his newest: a perverted sex-clown horror film called THE BAD MAN (2018)!

Nothing better to start the introduction of BUTFF guests with Harry Kümel, the last living filmmaker of a generation of Belgian filmmakers who shaped Belgian fantastic in the 70s and 80s!

Similar to contemporaries Jess Franco and Jean Rollin, Kümel made the slightly erotic low budget vampire film: LES LEVRES ROUGES (1971), which became a true cult film around the world and is loved in genre and collector circles. His feat will forever remain the fascinating MALTERTUIS (1971), for which Kümel managed to catch none other than Orson Welles!

With more than 200 movie submissions from all over the world, our Alienated Theme with it's terrestrial alienation and alien vibes, it promises to be another extraordinary BUTFF edition you cannot miss! And to top it off, you can be there at a special discount price with our...
