Introduction BUTFF 2019 GUEST: Harry Kümel!
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!
