We all know the fastest barman at BUTFF: Gerrie. But does Gerrie know himself? As it turned out, when he saw Robert Bronzi, he discovered something new - fast but also a little mad… See what happened when the two characters met in the yearly BUT TV sketches, by Tom Elswijk.

We keep the BUT flame alive via BUTEvents: showcasing different BUT movies in three different cities. Are you closer to Breda, Rotterdam, or Antwerp? We’ve got great BUT programming for you. (checkout the BUTevents page here)
BUTplugged in Breda
The last day at BUTFF passed under the sound of constant sobbing. Some sobbed because the festival was ending, others because “we sold out” at the market, yet others because they sold out their family fortune at the market, and some others just had a cold. Get a tissue, goddamnit.
“The mainstream always bothers us. Absentees throw a spanner in the works so that filtering becomes necessary. A witch intentionally forgets to cover a smoke detector at the Metal Night. The BUT-alarm goes off but the audience counts on it to be part of the performance.“
Ew. What a gross title. Hate that.
“Payback time! God does not have to judge because we will do that ourselves, as we are judge, jury, and executioner. Rapists, terrorists, slave owners, Nazis, paedophiles, cult leaders, drug dealers, pimps, crimelords, annoying neighbours, crying babies, spoiled brats, people who double park - not in my neighbourhood!”
That’s Revenge BUTFF, baby!
Uhm-ahm, where to start. Perhaps with lunchtime: on Thursday we served one of the goriest, most hard-to-watch, female revenge movies of all times (this opinion is supported by a vox populi of many BUT movie fans). At 14:30 in Chasse Cinema, you could watch “I Spit on Your Grave”. A good picture to get your mind off work during lunch break, just don’t get too many ideas.
Every year, we recognize and celebrate the upcoming and established BUT talents during our award ceremony. The crowned heroes get access to the Nieuwe Veste cellar where they throw particular rituals under the cover of night… Just kidding, we’re not the Illuminati, but we have very pretty awards and a few lifetimes of admiration.
“(..) what is man? Man is the most vengeful creature of all. And why? Because he was born unsolicited! Because he didn’t ask for existence, but got it thrown into his lap all the same. Born unsolicited, he takes revenge on the entire planet. How? By doing stuff!
Dearest BUTters,
We have some bad news. Our main guest Pollyanna MacIntosh had to cancel her visit to BUTFF due to personal circumstances.
Ard Vijn, writer for ScreenAnarchy, will introduce MacIntosh’s screenings.
Do not despair: we have plenty of beer to drown our sorrows in.
The show must go on.
