Thank you so much to every guest, contributor, supporter and audience member for making this year’s festival one to remember.

The winner of the 2023 Méliès d’argent and Abertoir Short Film award at Abertoir is GERONIMO by Geraint Morgan! Want to see it for yourself? You can currently watch the Ffilm Cymru Wales/BFI Network Beacons-funded Geronimo on BBC iPlayer!

The Abertoir 2023 audience voted RIVER by Yamaguchi Junta their favourite film of the festival! This sci-fi comedy will be released next year by Third Window Films and is available for pre-order now.

Finally – and perhaps surprising nobody – THE EXORCIST was voted by the Abertoir 2023 as the best classic film of the festival!

Want to catch-up with Abertoir 2023? Our Choice Cuts online event will be happening this weekend, 25 & 26 November, via Eventive. Tickets on sale now. (Physical passholders will receive an email with discount code soon!)
