“BUFF’s film slate, said Kevin Monahan, its artistic director since 2005, isn’t meant to be so underground it’s a fringe event. ‘When I first started doing this, I wanted to put a hand grenade in people’s faces,’ he said of equating shock with artistic integrity. ‘But I’ve matured a lot. While we always feel the need to provoke, we don’t go after it. It happens organically because of the films.'” – Stephen Schaefer, Boston Herald
