Winner of MovieMaker Magazine's
World's 50 Best Genre Festivals 2021
"Confrontational past films like Gaspar Noé’s 'I Stand Alone' and Jeremy Saulnier’s 'Blue Ruin' epitomize the offerings at BUFF, which has welcomed such maverick titans as George A. Romero, Larry Fessenden, Don Coscarelli and Frank Henenlotter."
Winner of Dread Central's
Best Horror Festivals in the World 2021
"BUFF has earned its long-held status as a fan and filmmaker favorite with its primo programming and cozy amenities. To put into perspective on how cool the festival's homebase is, David Lynch is on the board of directors."
