Posted by Cecily Layzell Sep 17, 2009

Veteran American filmmaker and director John Waters was the special guest at the 2009 BUT Film Festival. Held in Breda in the south of the Netherlands from September 9-13, this young festival screens B-movies, Underground and Trash films (BUT) over five days.

The so-called 'King of Trash' made an - appropriate - appearance at the festival, where three of the movies that put him on the map were shown: Desperate Living (1977), Polyester (1981) and the original version of Hairspray (1988).

John Waters is currently working on Fruitcake. A parody of a family movie about meat thieves, said to be starring Johnny Knoxville and Parker Posey, the film is scheduled for release in 2010.
