ABERTOIR FILM FESTIVAL
Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, Fri 31st Oct.
Tickets: £20 day pass (prices vary for individual films).
Info: 029 2030 4400 / www.abertoir.co.uk
For the third year running, Abertoir – Wales' International Horror Festival
– in Aberystwyth from Tue 11-Sun 16 Nov – is uprooting from Ceredigion
to take over Cardiff, in Chapter Arts Centre's Halloween lineup. Serving
sliced segments of sci-fi, the frightful festival will feature a mash of
independent films as well as Hollywood horrors guaranteed to give you
the heebie-jeebies. Abertoir’s aptly named Short Cuts present a thrilling
blend of discoveries from this year and some favourites from the festival’s
2013 short film competition. Showing films like Beware Of Children (Ares
Ceylan, Switzerland) and Butterflies (Isabel Peppard, Australia), along with
live commentary of gory greats like The Faculty, it’s guaranteed that these
screens will make you scream. Premiering on Halloween, this festival is more
tempting than turning the lights on during The Shining.
