By now, it’s a tradition that we serve BUTters some good metal on Fridays. We’re honoured to drag this habit into BUTFF2022. Here is our superstar selection:

Neroth – Where black metal and classical vocals merge into one huge atmosphere. This Eindhoven-based band gets a lot of inspiration from black metal but breaks with the typicality of the genre by applying clean female vocals. This June, Neroth released their debut EP, Noctural Woods.
I've been in different positions in BUT. I started behind the sandwich bar: managing it, the groceries, everything. That year, I was also helping out with watching the short movies - voting for them and suggesting which ones we would screen. That's the first thing I did.
In the years after, I started working in pre-production as well as production. I was working with Dorien a lot. She's the head of the festival in terms of organisation and producing*, and I was basically her right hand.
The short movie screenings are a popular yearly delight, selling out as one of the quickest. Here are a few shorts that you can expect to see at BUTFF2022:

Pollyanna is known for her unique acting style, where she blends sassy humour with intriguing sexuality. That’s what we do at BUTFF too (only sometimes, it gets too intriguing), so we’re very excited to see Pollyanna in August, and we hope you are, too.
We’ll be screening several of Pollyanna’s movies. The guest will introduce a few of those herself, and follow up with a Q&A. We will show:

Watching a few thousand BUT movies yearly, Alex is not doing well. In this interview, he reveals what to expect from BUTFF2022, what to do in anticipation of the festival, and how he got himself into the whole BUT mess.
Sharing in sadness as we remember Nick Zedd, who has passed away. In 2011, he was honorary guest at our festival; the man behind Cinema of Transgression. Zedd, along with fellow directors such as Richard Kern and Lydia Lunch, made shocking films filled with sex, violence and black humor. He introduced the meme 'transgression' as an artistic force into our culture in 1979.
