Special guest and first film titles of the BUT film festival revealed
September 8th – 12th 2010, with a brand new section in the additional program.
From September 8th to 12th the fifth edition of the BUT film festival will take place in the city’s centre of Breda. BUT consists of B-movies, Underground and Trash genres which shows extraordinary cinema that deviates from the mainstream films found in movie theatres, video stores and on the internet.
First names in the line-up:
Dutch premières of the film Cadavres, the Australia banned film LA Zombies by Bruce LaBruce, the film Captain Berlin vs. Hitler by controversial German filmmaker Jörg Buttgereit, films by Dutch artist / filmmakers Arno Coenen and Hester Scheurwater and the symposium "Finding Borders and going beyond?".
A new addition to the program are performances by underground poets such as Diana Ozon, Nick J. Swarthe and DASTRUGISTENDA from Brussels.
Special guest: Jörg Buttgereit
Jörg Buttgereit's films are known for the worldwide controversy they have caused. Nekromantik even gave Jörg Buttgereit the title of Germany’s ‘Most Wanted film director’. Through the course of the past couple years the films got the respect they deserve.
The world renown director will bring Nekromantik 1 and Schramm to show as well as a compilation of short films. He will render a radio play in German and take part in the symposium "Finding Borders and going beyond?".
First film titles BUT2010
Tragicomedy Cadavres(2009) by director Eric Canuel is the BUT film festival kick off. The film is based on the book Cadavres by François Barcelo. The movie received widely diverse reviews, but our program committee unanimously decided it had a definite BUT factor.
Admitted to the film program is LA Zombies(2010) by director Bruce LaBruce which was called ‘Gay Zombie Porn’ in Australia and thus banned. LaBruce reacted bemused by the restrictions of the. Australian Film Classification, saying he had only submitted the ‘soft-core version’ of his film.
During the festival de Dutch première of Captain Berlin vs. Hitler(2009) will be shown. This film is deliberately camp, with hilarious fake sets and overly exaggerated characters. Never a dull momen, truly a must-see: who other than Buttgereit can bring together Hitler, Dracula and a superhero.
Symposium ‘Finding the borders and going beyond?’
What is a quality film and who sets these standards? On Friday September 10th a symposium will be held to research these standards and boundaries of quality with the title "Finding Borders and going beyond?". Film fragments composed of work from participants will set the theme and frame the discussion with the other participants and the audience. Moderator Anneroos Goosen will lead the discussion in which participants from various genres within BUT will take turns. Participants are; Jörg Buttgereit (Underground film maker and producer, Berlin), Hester Scheurwater (controversial film artist, Rotterdam), Powerplant (film artist duo, Venlo/Utrecht), DASTRUGISTENDA (poet, Gent).
Line-up Music and Performance program
Music and performances that deviate from the average, will attest of creativity, burst with singularity and entertainment to end each festival night. This year every evening has its own theme:
-futuristic rituals- with: Akoustic Timbre Frekuentie, Kristus Kut and Om Digidelica
-futuristic erotica- with: Mental Plastic Body Filler and Schulz
-futuristic classic- with: Hexperos and Ybrid
-futuristic party- with: Surfaders and Abattoir Rouge
Underground poetry program
The Underground poets will surprise the audience in between other scheduled films and performances. Ranging from guerrilla poetry, poetry performances to fighting with words in a boxing ring. In style with the BUT film festival these performances will walk along the lines of limitations. With various poetic actions the public at the BUT festival will receive a special serving of underground poetry.
BUT film festival
The BUT Film Festival is the B-movie, Underground and Trash Film Festival with Breda as home base. One of its kind in the Benelux. BUT directs itself onto unusual cinema that differs from the average mainstream features found in cinemas and video stores.
A rising number of people find their way to enjoy and appreciate the festival as well as a growing number of national and international film makers. Films made with only a slight fraction of the Hollywood-budgets by the hands of makers who do not shy away from letting their creativity run free. Every year with a big chunk of additional programming such as underground poetry, BUT film workshop, BUT Young and many more activities with spectacle and enthusiasm contributing to the unique BUT atmosphere.
Tickets for the BUT film festival are available for reservation via the website. During the festival tickets can be purchased at the register on the festival area. The entire program schedule will be made available in the last week of august on the website.
