Abertoir


Abertoir is an annual horror and horror film festival held in the Aberystwyth Arts Centre in Ceredigion, Wales in November. The festival began as a three-day event and has grown since to a six-day programme of films and events. Abertoir is Wales' only dedicated horror film festival and is a member of the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation. As well as screening new big-budget horror films, classics and independent films form a large and important part of the festival line-up. Each year a short film competition is held, which showcases horror and fantasy short films from around the world. In addition to film screenings, the festival regularly features presentations, concerts, theatre shows, masterclasses, a pub quiz and off-site screenings in its line up.
