Choice Cut: Decibel + Q&A with writer Matt Wise, recorded at #Abertoir2024.

When a struggling singer songwriter gets the chance of a lifetime to work with a tech-obsessed producer, she finds not everything is as she imagined it to be.

A quote from the Q&A: "We were just kind of imagining, oh, in the future, of course, they'll take artists' voices and recreate it.and we didn't realize it was going to happen so quickly. It was interesting to have written something about it that suddenly was a part of the public dialogue. But then also, it's scary."

Short blogpost on last week's #Abertoir2024 Horror Film Festival. I particularly enjoyed the documentary Exorcismo telling the story of the classification S films made in Spain following the end of censorship after Franco's death. Also some thoughts on why horror films are politically necessary.

Choice Cut: Exorcismo + Q&A with director Alberto Sedano, recorded during #Abertoir2024

This brand new documentary explores the eye-opening history behind Clasificada S, and the distinctive shockers that subverted the values of the former Franco dictatorship.

A photo of Alberto Sedano holding a mic against a black backdrop. The poster for Exorcismo and text promoting the screening. A quote from the Q&A: "I think if you get into Spanish film from that period, especially after Franco dies, one of the most shocking things is how natural they were about bodies. No matter if it was a male body, a female body, a trans body, they were like, just happy to show it because they weren't allowed to before."

At #Abertoir2024 we held an "honesty box" charity sale of second-hand DVDS, books and t-shirts.

Together, we've raised £390, split between Medical Aid for Palestinians and The Lebanese Red Cross.

Nia's made the donations today - thank you, Abertoir audience!
